About 260, including some who undertook distance-taught courses, graduated in absentia.
The number of graduands was up significantly on the equivalent ceremony in March last year, when 450 graduated, 245 of them in person.
Among those taking part in yesterday's ceremony were graduands in occupational therapy, nursing and veterinary nursing, and others from the School of Architecture, Building and Engineering.
Graduates were addressed by Andrew Holmes, project director, large projects, at Hawkins Construction, the main contractors for the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin and the Otago Corrections Facility at Milton.
