Graduation

A student must pass the required courses for the degree and also obtain a sufficiently high standing before he or she is eligible for graduation. Further information is given in each college section of this Calendar and on the University Secretary website. Students who are in doubt as to whether all academic requirements for graduation have been met should check with their college.

All undergraduate and graduate students who expect to graduate at either the Spring or Fall Convocation must complete an "Application to Graduate" form from the Office of the Registrar or college offices. This form must be submitted by March 31 for Spring Convocation or by August 31 for Fall Convocation. Students who do not complete and submit this form will not be considered for graduation. Spring Convocation is held the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in May. Fall Convocation is held the fourth Saturday in October.

Students who apply to graduate at a specific Convocation but do not qualify must subsequently submit another " Application to Graduate" form.

Students must settle all their financial responsibilities with the University. A student who has outstanding accounts with the university will be allowed to graduate and to attend the Convocation ceremony, but will not receive the parchment, or any other official documentation pertaining to the degree, certificate or diploma, or be able to receive transcripts, statements of standing, or re-register until the account is cleared.

Students who have accumulated credits from another university to satisfy the requirements for their degree must arrange to have official transcripts of these credits sent to the Office of the Registrar no later than 12 calendar days prior to the first day of Convocation. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.
