The Conferring ceremonies in IADT are all about our graduands and their family and friends and is a time of celebration.
Spring Conferring 2025
The Spring Conferring will take place on Friday, April 4, 2025, on campus at IADT. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm.
Graduation Day Information – How the Event will Run
To ensure everything runs smoothly, please take note of the following details:
- We recommend arriving at IADT 45 minutes before the ceremony starts to allow enough time for check-in and preparation.
- Upon arrival, please register at the Registration Desk, located by the revolving doors in the Atrium Building.
- Once you’ve signed in, you’ll be guided to the gowning area to collect your graduation gown. This will be in Room A116, on the 1st floor of the Atrium Building
- If you’ve booked professional photographs, Lafayette Photography will be based in Room A118, on the 1st floor of the Atrium Building
Seating Arrangements:
- All graduands and their guests should be seated at least 10 minutes before the ceremony starts (by 2.50 pm)
- Graduands will be seated in the right-hand seating block (facing the room) according to their assigned seat number, which will be provided at the Registration Desk. It’s important to sit in the correct seat.
- Guests will be seated in the left-hand seating block. There are no assigned seats, so they may sit anywhere that isn’t marked as reserved.
During the Ceremony:
- The IADT President, Assistant Registrar, Head of Faculty, and Heads of Department will enter and take their seats at the front of the room.
- When it’s time to receive your parchment, a member of the Conferring Team will organize you in a row and guide you to the front when your name is called.
- After receiving your parchment, please return to your seat and move to the farthest available seat in your row to allow others to be seated smoothly.
After the Ceremony:
- Once the ceremony concludes, graduates and their guests are invited to enjoy some refreshments.
- Before you leave, please return your gown to the designated gowning area so you can continue your celebrations without worry.
Please let any of the Conferring Team know if you have any issues during your time on campus.
