- Graduation registration and payment should only be made after formal, written confirmation has been received from the College that the learner is eligible to graduate. Completion of a qualification alone does not automatically confirm graduation eligibility, as portfolios must be submitted and audited by the relevant quality council. The College cannot accept responsibility for registrations or payments made prior to such confirmation.
- Learners with an outstanding balance on their account will not be eligible to attend the Graduation Ceremony until all fees have been settled in full.
