Graduation

Applications for the December graduation ceremonies closed in September. Confirmed graduands will be provided with further instructions about a week before their ceremony. 

If you are eligible to graduate at the April 2011 ceremonies, you are invited to apply to graduate on-line from 1 February. Applications close on 9 March 2012 and late applications will not be accepted.     

You can choose to graduate in absentia rather than in person at a ceremony. The diploma is then mailed to you. Complete the application form for in absentia graduation.

If you have any enquiries about graduation, please contact graduation@canterbury.ac.nz.

UC is offering 95 new scholarships of $2000 each to returning students in 2012.

This is all thanks to the generous donations of UC alumni and friends to the UC Foundation’s 2011 Earthquake Scholarships Appeal.




Summer Programme

There are still places available on some summer degree courses. Take some of the pressure off next year's timetable by studying over the summer break.
