Graduation brunch
A brunch will be hosted by the University of Otago, which is open to all graduates and their families. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with your family, friends, and the University.
- When the procession begins at 11:30am, the brunch will be held from 9:30am-11:00am (May & December)
- When the procession begins at 1:30pm, the brunch will be held from 11:30am-1:00pm (August)
As it is not always possible to hold the Brunch in the same venue, you will be advised where the Brunch will be held approximately 6 weeks prior to your graduation ceremony.
Thanksgiving Service
A Thanksgiving Service is held on each graduation ceremony date, all graduands and their families are invited to attend.
Further information will be made available to you approximately 6 weeks prior to your graduation ceremony.
The Graduation procession
The OUSA organises an informal procession along George Street prior to the ceremony. This is voluntary, but it is a great opportunity to walk along the middle of the main street of Dunedin and be acknowledged by your friends and family.
Please assemble outside the School of Dentistry 15 minutes prior to the departure of the procession.
On days where two ceremonies are being held, there will be only one procession:
- If your ceremony begins at either 1:00pm or 4:00pm, the procession will depart at 11:30am (May & December)
- If your ceremony beings at 3:00pm, the procession will depart at 1:30pm (August)
