What do I do next?

Step 1: Apply to graduate

First up you need to apply to graduate, whether you are graduating in person or absentia. Each graduating student is welcome to bring up to two guests to the ceremony, when you apply to graduate you’ll be asked how many guests you’re bringing so we can distribute tickets.

Update: applications to graduate have now closed, you will have the opportunity to graduate in September. Any questions, please email registrar@themindlab.com.
Step 2: Book your regalia

Your graduation is a formal celebration and we encourage you to dress appropriately. You are required to wear the correct academic regalia for your qualification, and you can hire your regalia from Academic Dress Hire.

Feel free to also wear traditional wear in honour of your culture or home country, such as a korowai, traditional flower garland or sari.

Step 3: Get ready to celebrate

Once you’ve received confirmation of your application to graduation, booked tickets for your friends and whānau for the in-person ceremony (and let them know), and booked your regalia – you’re ready to graduate.
