Graduation

• Your invitation and academic documents depend on your graduand approval and the full payment of outstanding fees. Once this has been resolved and approved, you will receive an invitation to the allocated ceremony.
• Eligible graduands will receive a pre-graduation notification 6–7 weeks before the ceremony. This notification includes essential information to review before receiving your official invitation with the specific details of your ceremony. Please note that we may hold ceremonies in both the morning and afternoon, with final scheduling determined after registrations close. We therefore recommend waiting to book major commitments, such as flights, until you receive your ceremony details.
• All communications will be sent to your student email address. Please check it regularly to stay informed about important updates and details for your ceremony.

Yes, our graduation ceremonies are held in the Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel at the Northern Beaches Campus in Manly.

Your graduation ceremony will also be live streamed on the ICMS YouTube channel, allowing your loved ones to watch from anywhere. You can also revisit and relive this special moment later.
