Collecting tickets and academic dress
Find out where and when to pick up your graduation pack, including tickets for guests, and where and when to collect and return your academic dress.
Collecting tickets
Michael Fowler Centre ceremonies
If you're attending a ceremony at the Michael Fowler Centre, you’ll collect your guest tickets from the reception desk in the Hunter building (Kelburn Campus).
- You can pick up your tickets at the same time as you collect your academic dress.
- We will email you a unique QR code that you’ll use to collect your tickets.
- You can ask a friend or family member to pick up your tickets for you. They will need to sign for it, and our service will be much faster if you have forwarded them the email with your QR code or printed it out for them.
Keep your guest tickets safe. We will not be able to replace your guest tickets if you misplace them.
Te Hui Whakapūmau
If you’re attending Te Hui Whakapūmau, you will receive instructions on where and when to collect your tickets, sent to your preferred email address closer to the ceremony date.
Collecting academic dress
Your academic dress depends on the qualification you're graduating with, but typically includes a robe, hood, and cap.
You'll collect the academic dress for graduation ceremonies from level 0 of the Murphy building, Kelburn Parade. Bring your Grad Gear receipt or photo ID card when collecting.
If you're attending a Michael Fowler Centre (MFC) ceremony, you need to be at the venue and wearing your academic dress at least 45 minutes before the ceremony starts.
Pick up your academic dress in person, if you can
We strongly recommend collecting your academic dress in person. A final check of gown length and cap size is done on collection to ensure the best fit.
Returning academic dress
When you return your academic dress, make sure you bring your receipt.
