We kindly ask that graduands and graduates arrive at the Engineering Core by no later than 9:00am. This will allow us time to go over the presentation process; and ensure you and your whānau are seated and ready for the ceremony to start at 9:30am.

Graduation booklets containing the names of all those graduands and graduates attending Eke Tangaroa will be available at the ceremony.
It is important that you provide us with the correct details upon registering ie your name and iwi (the information that you provide us with will be printed in the booklets).
Academic Regalia
Graduates are required to wear academic regalia to Eke Tangaroa. Ākonga are encouraged to wear their family korowai or taonga over their gown – the hood must be worn on top of the korowai.
