Doors will be closed 15 minutes before the ceremony starts.
The check-in process
At the check-in table, you and your guests need to show:
- Your graduation tickets
- Your valid National ID/ Passport/ Driver's license
All information needs to match your registration form as mentioned above.
To ensure the quality of the ceremony, RMIT can refuse access to campus and ceremony hall for graduands and guests who do not meet the above requirement and/ or after check-in time.
Parking
Parking is available on the day, but the number of spaces is very limited, so we recommend taking a bus or a taxi
- If you choose to ride motorbikes to campus, you can follow the instructions from RMIT security guards to the temporary parking lots.
- If you go by car, you can use RMIT's car park on Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard. RMIT's car park has only limited slots available on a first-come-first-served basis.

You are required to wear a gown set throughout the ceremony. Please dress appropriately underneath your gown.

Ceremony procedures
Rehearsal:
- All graduands must attend the rehearsal before the official ceremony.
- You will be distributed a name card at the rehearsal. Make sure you keep it during the ceremony. It is essential that you sit in the seat allocated to you, and that you remain in the correct order. For the presentation of your testamur (degree), you will be guided onto the stage by our ushers.
Please be respectful to other graduates and the audience after you receive your testamur by returning to your seat quietly and not using your mobile phones.
All guests and graduates are expected to stay in your seats until the end of the ceremony, even after you have been presented on stage.
Seating for guest
We have dedicated seating areas for your guest(s). Please inform your guest(s) to arrive early as these areas are served on a first come first serve basis.
Photograph
Please inform your guest(s) that they are not permitted to approach the stage area to take photos during the ceremony as this impedes the movement of graduates to and from the stage.
Professional photographers will be taking photos at the ceremony, including when you receive your testamur on stage.
Retiring procession
At the end of the ceremony, you will follow the Academic Procession for the official photograph, as directed by the ushers. Take any valuables with you.
Accessibility support for guests and students
If you or your guests have mobility impairments, please contact us at graduations@rmit.edu.vn in advance to arrange support. The venue is disability-friendly, so you’ll be able to enjoy the ceremony without difficulty.
