Preparing for graduation

Graduation is an exciting and busy time, and to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible we have developed a few steps to assist you with preparing for graduation. We recommend that you complete the following steps, and review the information on the UQ Graduations website.  

  1. Complete a Progression Check.
  2. Ensure that your graduation semester is set correctly in SI-net. You can do this by logging into mySI-net, selecting the ‘program’ tab along the top, then ‘graduation semester’ from the left-hand menu.
  3. Ensure that any major(s)/extended major/minor(s) are declared correctly in SI-net. You can do this by logging into mySI-net, selecting the ‘program’ tab along the top, then ‘plans’ from the left-hand menu. If you have difficulty declaring your major/minor or it is not displaying as an option please send details of the issue to hass@uq.edu.au. Make sure you include your 8 digit student number.
  4. Ensure that you regularly check your UQ student email address. This is where all graduation correspondence will be sent.
  5. Review the information on the UQ Graduations website regarding ceremony dates, tickets, academic dress hire.

Domestic and International undergraduate or postgraduate coursework students in their final semester who wish to exit out with one component of their dual, or who wish to take out a lower program in the postgraduate suite, are advised to apply via the program change request function in SI-net. More information about this process can be found at my.UQ

If the program change request application window has closed, and it is before census date, you must submit a request in writing to the Faculty (hass@uq.edu.au) by one week before census date in the relevant semester. Requests should include your name, 8 digit student number, program information, and the reason for the request.

The Faculty cannot guarantee that requests received after census date in the relevant semester will be assessed, and processed in time for you to graduate in that semester. All requests received after the census date in the relevant semester require making a formal case to the Associate Dean (Academic) for approval.

Domestic and International (without a formal articulation offer) postgraduate students who wish to articulate in their final semester through a postgraduate coursework suite are advised to apply via the program change request application in SI-net. More information about this process can be found at myAdvisor.

If the program change request application window has closed, and it is before census date, you are advised that you must submit a request in writing to the Faculty (hass@uq.edu.au) by one week before census date in the relevant semester. Requests should include your name, 8 digit student number, program information, and reason for the request.

Requests received after census date will not be accepted. You will need to graduate with your current program, and reapply through the Online Application System for the requested program in the following semester.

International students who have been issued a formal articulation offer do not need to contact the Faculty. We will run a report to identify you in your final semester of your current program, and you will be contacted.
