Graduation
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION
Students planning to graduate must submit an application regardless of whether or not they intend to participate in the scheduled ceremonies. If the request to graduate is not approved by the student’s faculty, a reapplication for the next graduation period will be required. Formal graduation takes place in May and November.
Congregation
Following program completion, degrees are awarded by UBC Senate. “Congregation” refers to the ceremony of graduation at which degrees are formally conferred by the UBC Chancellor, and official parchments (degree certificates) are provided.
