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's 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. The form is available on-line, at Student Central or at 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. Students who apply to graduate at a specific Convocation but do not qualify must subsequently submit another application form.
Fall Convocation is held the fourth Saturday in October at one morning ceremony.
Spring Convocation is held the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in May. There are four ceremonies (subject to change):
- Wednesday morning: Arts & Science and Law
- Wednesday afternoon: Agriculture, Commerce and Engineering
- Thursday morning: Dentistry, Kinesiology, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy & Nutrition, Physical Therapy and Veterinary Medicine
- Thursday afternoon: Education and Graduate Studies & Research
Information regarding the ceremony is mailed approximately one month before the ceremony to everyone who has applied to graduate.
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 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 directly from the issuing institution to Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services, no later than 12 calendar days prior to the first day of Convocation. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.
