Information for guests
Guest tickets
Guests don’t need tickets to attend the graduation ceremony.
Due to the capacity of the Town Hall we ask graduates the total number of guest seats they require when they register. If you want to increase your guest seats you can update your registration via the Student Hub or let us know by email at graduation@op.ac.nz.
Please let us know if any of your guests need assistance on graduation day. e.g. an elderly guest with limited mobility or anyone specifically requiring ground floor seating.
