We’re enhancing the graduation experience for students who studied at UOW Liverpool and Sutherland campuses by offering dedicated ceremonies in your local area. This creates a special opportunity to celebrate your achievements in a setting that feels personal and meaningful — surrounded by your peers, your loved ones, and the academic community who supported your journey.
You need to apply to graduate and have your eligibility confirmed before you will be invited to attend a graduation ceremony. You can view the process here.

This year, UOW has partnered with Reed Events to deliver the best possible graduation experience at our UOW Liverpool campus.
Invitations were sent on Thursday, 7 May 2026 to graduates from Liverpool and Sutherland campuses that are yet to attend a ceremony. If you have already been conferred and haven't received your invitation, please email askuow@uow.edu.au.
A second round of invitations will be sent in early June to students conferred in the May 2026 conferral round.
Registration will close at 5 pm, Sunday, 14 June 2026.
Invitations are sent to the email address you nominated for My eQuals.
Graduates will received up to (3) guest tickets.
Unfortunately, due to the venue capacity, additional tickets aren’t available.
Absolutely! Your graduation involves two stages: the completion and conferral of your course, and an in-person graduation ceremony.
If you don’t attend a ceremony your course will still be conferred, and you’ll be able to access your digital academic documents immediately. Hard copies will be posted to you in the weeks after your conferral.
More information on the graduation process is available here.
To help create a more personalised and memorable graduation experience, we invite you to share a photo and a short quote that may be displayed during the celebrations.
You’ll have the option to upload these in the Reed Events Portal as part of your registration. Participation is completely optional.
Please ensure that any photo or quote you submit is appropriate for a public audience. All contributions will be reviewed, and inclusion will be at the discretion of the Graduation team. Your submission may not be included if it doesn't align with the spirit of the graduation ceremony.
Photo: Upload a clear, high‑resolution photo of yourself. Images will be displayed in a square format.
Quote: Share a brief reflection or meaningful moment from your time at UOW (maximum 150 characters, including spaces).
If you’ve applied to graduate and are eligible to attend a ceremony, your invitation will be sent to the email address you nominate for My eQuals. Make sure to check your junk/ spam folder.
If you haven’t received an invitation it's likely that you aren't eligible. Please refer to AskUOW for information about eligibility.
If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact AskUOW.
