Charles Darwin University will return to in-person graduation ceremonies in Darwin and Alice Springs.
Announcing the dates of ceremonies from May to September this year, CDU Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Engagement and Success Sam Jacob said the decision was made considering the changing COVID-19 requirements and the University’s commitment to its graduands and community.
“We’ve had a lot of student feedback about graduation ceremonies remaining virtual, so with the support of the hiring venues we will produce a COVID-19 Event Safety Plan based on the numbers at these events,” Ms Jacob said.
