July ceremonies
7. 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 in the Great Court. You can order these prior to graduation day via the GFP Registration Portal.
Stay tuned – the live stream is coming soon
We will update this page closer to the graduations with information on how to access the live stream.
