Graduation & beyond
Most VU students do not need to apply to graduate.
We keep track of your academic progress and will advise you once you have completed and are eligible to graduate.
You can then choose if you would like to come along to a formal graduation ceremony, or collect your Testamur (award/certificate) at your convenience.
Please note, you will need to apply to graduate if you are enrolled in a course and wish to exit with a lower (alternate) award.
