When will my qualification be granted?

Most qualifications are granted shortly after the end of semester, but some are granted monthly.

The decision to grant the qualification and the date of granting are at the discretion of the University. Your parchment and academic record will show the date of granting approved by the AUT Council.

Some qualifications may be granted each month, including:

• Certificates
• Qualifications for students who have been granted an extension of study
• Qualifications for students whose programme has additional or external completion requirements
• Programmes that don’t follow the normal semester-based enrolment pattern

Do I need to do anything to receive my qualification?

If you’re receiving one of the certificates listed above, you don’t need to do anything. Your parchment will be mailed or couriered to you, and you won’t usually be invited to attend a graduation ceremony.

For all other qualifications above, we’ll be in touch to explain the next steps, including your options for attending a graduation ceremony.

If you’re getting any qualification not listed above, your qualification will normally be granted shortly after the end of semester. You’ll also be given the option to apply to graduate.
