Graduation is one of the most important institutional events at which the University celebrates the academic achievements of students and staff. We are therefore pleased to announce that the summer graduation ceremonies will be held on 11 December 2025 as scheduled below: The ceremonies will take place at the Major Sports Hall, CPUT Bellville Campus.

Granduands will receive a link via SMS and Email to download their graduation invitation letters.

Undergraduates can invite two guests, while Master’s and Doctoral graduands are eligible to invite four guests.

Arrangements for the collection of academic attire, as well as information regarding graduation photography and graduation tickets, will be included in the invitation letter. Graduands are required to wear CPUT’s official graduation attire. Please note that the attire will be checked prior to entering the ceremony venue and entry may be refused if a graduand is not dressed in the official CPUT graduation attire.

Graduands and guests are kindly encouraged to arrive at least one hour before the start of the ceremony to allow sufficient time for seating.

All graduands are requested to complete the Graduate Destination Survey using the following link:

The purpose of this survey is to assist the University in gaining a better understanding of our graduates’ post university destinations and career pathways. Your participation is highly valued and will contribute to the improvement of our academic programmes and student support initiatives.
