The Robing Ceremony recognizes and celebrates the successful passage of these students through a university or any institution of education into the community. The Robing Ceremony continues to be an event that academics, graduates and families eagerly anticipate.

Robing Ceremony

The Faculty of Information Science & Technology will be hosting an in-person Robing Ceremony for students graduating in the 2022-2023 Session on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, from 9 am – 12 pm in the Multimedia Hall, Faculty of Information Science & Technology (FTSM). This program does not replace the students’ commencement/convocation at the Dewan Canselor Tun Abdul Razak (DECTAR).

This ceremony is a pre-convocation event to signify the passing down of scholarly mind from the supervisor to their student. During the ceremony, the graduate’s supervisor will put the robe on the student and later place a doctoral bonnet or hat over the head of the graduate, signifying the student’s success in completing the doctoral program.
