Students are asked to pick up their robes 1.5 hours prior to the commencement of the ceremony proceedings.

Yes. Students will need to be seated 40 mins prior to the official graduation start time on the day as there will be a practice run and specific instructions provided.

Invited family and friends will be allowed entry 10 mins prior to the official graduation start time and be guided by MIT staff to the seating area and should stay seated once they enter. We do not recommend taking small children to the ceremony as it can be quite tiresome for them to stay still and quiet for long periods.

For your convenience, you are encouraged to have your photographs taken before the ceremony, immediately after you are gowned. Choosing to have your photographs taken after the ceremony may result in long delays.

Graduands must check in at the photographer's reception desks to have their portraits taken.

Photos cannot be taken during the ceremony as it is very distracting. We recommend that if a friend or family wants photos that you either have professional ones taken at the venue (see information above) or that they take photos outside the Graduation Room before or after the ceremony. The Official Party will also return to the ceremonial rooms for 10 minutes after the ceremony is finished for students wishing to take photos with them.

Public/commercial parking is available around the graduation venue with the student and their guests incurring the cost.

The graduation venue is in the Melbourne CBD. The CBD is well serviced by public transport. For more specific timetables and trains available refer to http://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/

MIT provides all graduates and invited guests with light refreshments after the graduation ceremony.

As the gowns offer some measure of warmth, it is highly recommended that you keep this in mind when choosing what you are going to wear to your graduation ceremony.

As this is an auspicious event, Business or semi formal attire is required. We recommend that male students wear a suit and tie and that female students wear attire that is suitable for a special occasion. Casual wear is not allowed.

You will need to apply for a duplicate testamur, complete the attached form and follow the instructions on the form
