The Academic Procession
Arrival
Members of the Academic Procession will be met by the Dean of Graduate Studies (Professor Behnia), the Executive Board of the Australasian College of Phlebology and the Event Supervisor (Mrs Annie Silkman) under the Clock Tower in front of The Great Hall at 15:45. After the initial greeting, members of the Academic Procession will be ushered to the Senate Room to be introduced to other fellow members by representatives from the Executive Board of the College. Refreshments will be served between 15:45 and 16:25.
Dress
Members of the Academic Procession who are Fellows of the College will wear the official academic attire of the College. Those attending the ACP 2007 Conference in the preceding week can collect their academic gown from the Conference Secretariat from the 18th September.
Those who are not attending the Conference please ensure that you arrive early on the day & proceed to the Senate room to collect your gown.
University of Sydney officials are requested to wear the University of Sydney’s academic gown for the ceremony.
Fellows of other medical colleges and societies are requested to wear their respective academic gowns for the ceremony. (Refer to “Academic Attire” for further details.)
Receiving your Award:
1. The Academic Procession will enter the Hall via the Ante Room and will be seated on the dais at the front of The Great Hall.

3. Proceed to the Chancellor and salute.
4. Shake the Chancellor’s hand. Receive your award whilst being photographed. Salute the Chancellor again prior to returning to your seat.
Ceremony Procedure
At 16:20, the Academic Procession will be briefed about seating arrangements and will proceed to the Senate stairs at 16:29, in readiness to enter The Great Hall.
Lead by the Deputy Chancellor of the University of Sydney, Prof Ann Sefton, the ceremony commences when the Academic Procession enters The Great Hall to the sound of the organ. Once they have reached their designated seat, all remain standing for the National Anthems of Australia and New Zealand. At the end of the anthems, the Deputy Chancellor of the University will take the throne. The Academic Procession will then take their seats on the dais, followed by the audience once instructed by the Honorary Secretary.
Conferring of Awards and Medals
Members of the Academic Procession who are receiving an award will be seated on the dais and when their name is announced, will stand and walk around (from the left or right of the throne according to your seat position) to stand in front of the Deputy Chancellor of the University to receive their award. (See instructions under
Diagram 1, Academic Procession Instruction Map)
Timing
We expect the ceremony to run for approximately 1.5 hours. At the end of the ceremony, the Honorary Secretary will ask all to stand and remain standing while the procession leaves the Hall via the Ante Room.
After the Ceremony
Following the ceremony, the Academic Procession (joined at this stage by all the Fellows and Sclerotherapy Graduands) will be met at the Ante Room exit by College officials and ushered to the front of the building under the Clock tower, for group photographs. In case of wet weather, photographs will be taken under the cloisters, inside the Quadrangle. In preparation for future records and publications, we require all parties to join the group photograph organised following the Ceremony.
After the departure of the Academic Procession the audience can leave via the side exit of the Hall (see
Diagram 2, Award Recipients and Fellows Instructions
Map) leading out to the Quadrangle lawn, where cocktails and canapés will be served. This will be followed by the Inauguration dinner and live entertainment from 19:00. Following the photographic session you may deposit your academic gown at the Cloak room (next to Greek Room) and collect it at the end of the evening. Please also read “Other Instructions” for transport arrangements, parking, childcare and other important information.
