Alumni & Friends | Ngā Hoa Pīrata

Alumni can join the Library free of charge. This includes in-person borrowing and access to a set of library databases specifically licensed for alumni use.

Alumni can access digital versions of academic transcripts and graduation documents through the My eQuals platform or by contacting Student Services.

Careers Development Services offer a range of career development tools to support and enhance your employability skills and to refine your personal brand.

Each year, hundreds of new alumni join our community at graduation ceremonies. You can view copies of the University of Waikato's graduation programmes from 1967.

Show your friends you are Waikato proud with merchandise and memorabilia. Choose from hoodies, tracksuits, accessories or get one of each.

We welcome and encourage donations from anyone with an active interest in Waikato University — including alumni, staff, students and members of the community. 

Whether you want to gain new professional qualifications, pursue a personal ambition or change your career, the University has plenty of options for further study.

The University opened in 1964 after years of lobbying by a group of Hamilton locals, determined to improve their city. Today, we have thousands of students and more than 90,000 graduates.
