A preliminary convocation notice is sent to all students who submit an Application for Degree. Upon receipt of the preliminary convocation notice all graduands must notify the Convocation Office (through InfoNet) whether or not they will attend the ceremony. Seating is reserved only for those graduands who have notified the Convocation Office that they will be attending the ceremony. Such notice must be received two weeks before the ceremony.

Graduands who have advised that they will not attend may pick up their degree parchment at the Office of the Registrar during the 30 days following the day of the ceremony. There is a fee for those wishing to have their degree mailed.
