8. Photography and live stream

Sharing your achievements with your family and friends is an important part of your graduation day.

During the ceremony, each graduand is individually photographed by GFP Events, UQ's official photographers. This includes when you cross the stage toward the Presiding Officer and raise your left hand to your trencher or bonnet.

No other commercial photographers are allowed inside the venue, and guests and graduands aren't allowed to take flash photographs during the ceremony.

You can also have graduation portraits taken before or after your ceremony on campus.

Order your graduation photos in advance and access your stage crossing digital download after the ceremony via the GFP Registration Portal.

Live stream

All graduation ceremonies are live streamed, so family and friends can watch online if they can't attend.

The live stream video will begin shortly before the start time of each ceremony.
