Graduation
A student must pass the required courses for the degree and also obtain the required 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 at
students.usask.ca/convocation, 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 by the deadlines 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. There are two ceremonies.
Spring Convocation is typically held the last consecutive Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in May. There are five ceremonies.
Specific information regarding the ceremony structure (for both undergraduate and graduate students) is available at the Convocation website:
students.usask.ca/academic/convocation/ceremony.
Information regarding the ceremony is mailed approximately one month before the ceremony to everyone who has applied to graduate.
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 Division, no later than 12 calendar days prior to the first day of Convocation. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.
