Every candidate for a degree must make a formal application for graduation. Students can make a formal application for graduation via the Student Service Centre (SSC).

The application deadline for May Congregation is February 27. The application deadline for November Congregation is August 31.

An application must be submitted if you plan to graduate regardless of whether or not you intend to participate in the scheduled ceremonies. If your request to graduate is not approved by your Faculty, a reapplication for the next congregation will be required.

Applications for May are not acknowledged until the end of March when Graduation Ceremony information is emailed. Acknowledgment for November applications will be emailed at the end of September. The receipt of graduation information does not confirm the satisfactory completion of your degree program. The Faculty completes this approval process and Senate then confers successful candidates. Students can access the SSC one week prior to the ceremonies to confirm graduation.

No student will receive a graduation diploma until all academic fees have been fully paid (see Financial Hold).
