Convocation checklist
Verify your program
Connect with your faculty advisor to ensure that your program information (including your major, minor, area of study, specialization, etc.) is correct in your Student Centre. If your information is not correct, you must meet with an advisor - this update cannot be made through your Student Centre.
Also verify with your advisor:
Degree requirements completed
Your eligibility to graduate
Apply to graduate
Once you have verified your program information, complete your online application to graduate in your Student Centre. Choose "Apply for Graduation" and fill in the webform.
Submit your attendance notification
Complete your attendance notification to indicate if you will attend convocation, have your parchment mailed to you, or pick up your parchment at UCalgary.
Check faculty approval
Your faculty will review your application to graduate approximately three weeks prior to the conferral date. You can view the status of your application under "Convocation Status."
Clear any outstanding fees
If you have outstanding fees owing to the university, you're allowed to graduate and attend your convocation ceremony. However, until the account is cleared, you won't be able to receive your degree(s), transcripts, other official degree documentation or be eligible to register in courses.
Please refer to the Pay your Fees site for information on fee payment options.
