The University of the Limpopo is pleased to announce its Autumn Graduation Ceremony that will be held from 07 to 15 April 2026. This prestigious occasion marks the start of the graduates’ journey and honours the commitment and diligence of those students who have successfully finished their studies.
Students must have fulfilled all programme-specific academic requirements in order to be eligible to graduate. The university encourages all eligible students to contact the Graduation Office or use the official student portal to confirm their graduation status. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with and follow the Graduation Procedure Guide for Morning Session and Afternoon Session to guarantee a smooth and memorable experience.
A key part of this special day is wearing the official graduation regalia, which is supplied exclusively by Dippenaar and Reinecke. Graduates can either purchase or hire their gowns through the approved supplier, and they are encouraged to make arrangements well in advance to avoid any last-minute rush.
To capture this milestone moment, Gordon Harris has been appointed as the official graduation photographer, offering professional photo-shoots for graduates and their families. Photography packages and booking details will be shared through official university channels.
