Virtual Congregation
The Virtual format of the 213th Congregation will be held on 11 November 2024 (Monday), to provide an option for graduands who have a genuine need for the early issuance of the graduation certificate (i.e. before the date of the in-person congregations) for the purpose of employment or further studies.
Graduands may only choose to participate either in the Virtual format of the Congregation OR the In-Person format; they cannot attend both. Graduands who are not able to attend either the VIRTUAL or the IN-PERSON format Congregation will be conferred the degrees in absentia at the IN-PERSON format Congregation.
The registration for Virtual Congregation has been closed on October 18, 2024.
In-person Congregation
Graduands should dress in full academic attire, including a gown, hood, and cap, while prize winners should dress formally. The Congregation is a solemn event, and all participants are expected to dress formally. Graduates and Prize winners who are not dressed in full academic attire or fail to meet the dress code will NOT be allowed to ascend to the stage.
Each Graduand may invite up to two guests to the Congregation. Please make sure to confirm your attendance and order guest tickets by 8 November 2024. If you do not register by the deadline, it will be assumed that you are not attending the ceremony. Requests for late registration after the deadline will not be considered. The graduand/ prize winner/ guest tickets will be mailed to you in due course.
