Otago Polytechnic graduation

Otago Polytechnic usually has three graduations throughout the year. There are Dunedin-based ceremonies typically taking place in March and December and our next Auckland-based ceremony will take place in October. In addition, Hamilton-based Occupational Therapy students who are eligible to graduate will be able to attend the WINTEC Graduation Ceremony which normally happens in March. Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, some of these dates are having to be shifted.

If you have any queries regarding your registration for graduation, please email graduation@op.ac.nz

Registration for 2022 ceremonies

Registration for 2022 ceremonies is not currently open.

Learners completing their qualifications in 2022 will be contacted once registration is open with information on how to register to attend a ceremony.

 

Certificates and transcripts for 2021 graduates

Certificates and transcripts for all 2021 graduates are being couriered to learners. This is to allow graduates to have their awards on hand to use for any applications for further study, jobs, or promotions which they may be relevant to.

If you have a debt (with the Polytechnic, Student Health, or Robertson Library) this will need to be cleared before we can send your certificate and transcript to you.

2021 certificates and transcripts have been sent. If you have not received your certificate and transcript, and you do not have any outstanding debts, please contact us at graduation@op.ac.nz with your learner ID number so we can follow this up.
