Melbourne Commencement Ceremonies

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Melbourne Commencement Ceremonies (MCCs), as part of Melbourne Orientation, to be officially welcomed by the faculty of your course. This is also where you can meet your faculty Dean, academics and fellow students while enjoying food, drinks and entertainment.

On the same day you will have your first session of the Melbourne Peer Mentor Program (MPMP) which is a key part of your first semester at university. In your MPMP group you will build personal connections and get support from your Peer Mentor.

Find your course and register!

Registrations for the MCCs are now open for commencing undergraduate students in Semester 1 2024. Log in and register now!
