Extra-Special Autumn Graduation Ceremonies Planned

CELEBRATE: Autumn Graduation begins on Thursday

Tuesday, 07 April 2026

CPUT will proudly celebrate the achievements of 9 225 graduands during the Autumn Graduation ceremonies this week.

A total of 20 ceremonies will be held from Thursday, 9 April to Friday, 17 April 2026, with an average of three ceremonies per day.

The final ceremony will be particularly significant, as CPUT will confer an Honorary Doctorate on the outgoing Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS), Edward Kieswetter. A distinguished alumnus, Kieswetters remarkable career reflects the impact and possibilities of a CPUT education.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Chris Nhlapo congratulated the graduands, noting that their hard work, determination and resilience have been rewarded.

"It takes discipline, grit and a steadfast commitment to your dreams. From the moment you earned your place at CPUT- a university that receives more than half a million applications each year. You have demonstrated that you have what it takes to succeed. However, this achievement is not yours alone; it is shared with your family, friends, spouses and children. They have cheered you on, supported you through late nights and early mornings, and never stopped believing in your potential," he said.
