What parchment will I receive at graduation?

The following principles are proposed for current and future students, but are subject to necessary regulatory approvals being obtained and Adelaide University commencing operations from 1 January 2026:

• All students commencing with Adelaide University from 2026 (and beyond) will graduate with an Adelaide University award.
• Commencing students enrolling in 2025 (and who transfer from the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia to the new university) will receive their award from Adelaide University.
• Commencing and continuing students enrolled in or before 2024 (and who transfer from the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia to the new university) will take their award from Adelaide University but, subject to regulatory approval, may be able to elect to have the name and logo of the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia displayed on their award.
• All students, regardless of commencement date, completing their studies prior to 2026 will receive an award from their current institution (either the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia) but, subject to regulatory approvals, will also be taken to be alumni of the new Adelaide University. They will be eligible to receive official confirmation of this from the new Adelaide University should they require it.
