Graduation 2025

We are proud of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who will graduate in 2024.

UNE is pleased to announce the Graduation ceremonies will be held on the lawns of Booloominbah at the Armidale campus on the Friday 9 May and Saturday 10 May, 2025.

An Indigenous Sashing Ceremony

Oorala holds a Sashing Ceremony on each Graduation Day. The Ceremony is to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students’ academic achievements alongside other Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students and their families and is held in the Oorala Lecture Theatre prior to the Graduation Ceremony.

All graduating Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students are welcome to attend this special event where they will be personally presented with their Indigenous Sash by the UNE Executive. The Sash can be worn as part of the official Graduation Ceremony formal wear. Oorala Staff will be on hand to assist you in gowning up and to direct you on where you need to be on the day.

Please fill out the form below and let us know what Sash design you want. This will be presented to you at the Ceremony or mailed out to you if you cannot attend.
