Completing an award at ANU is a significant academic achievement and is rightly celebrated at the University's prestigious graduation ceremonies. Graduation ceremonies are inspiring events that have both formal and symbolic significance.
Conferring of Award(s) refers to an administrative process in which a student is officially awarded any Testamur(s) they are eligible to receive and becomes an ANU Graduate. This is an automatic process and is different to the celebration of graduation ceremonies.
