Graduands must meet the necessary criteria to receive the degree they wish to have conferred. For example, they may need to fulfil residence and examination requirements or to receive formal approval from the Board of Graduate Studies.

Prior to graduation graduands must settle outstanding University and College fees and bills and return University books loaned to the relevant library.

If you are eligible to receive a degree, congratulations! Here is how you apply to graduate:
