The 2025 ceremonies will take place in Ottawa between June 8 and June 12, 2025 at the Shaw Centre and last approximately two hours per ceremony.
Information on the Windsor campus ceremony will be available at the end of March 2025.
Information on the Toronto campus ceremony will be available at the end of March 2025.
The schedule for the 2025 convocation will be available at the end of January 2025
Every guest, including all children, must have their own printed or electronic ticket to present at the entrance to the hall. While tickets are required, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Graduates are responsible for registering to obtain tickets for their guests and for ensuring that their guests have these tickets. Further information on how to order tickets will be posted in mid-February 2025.
As a graduate, you do not need a ticket; your seat is reserved at the front of the room.
Number of guest tickets per graduate
Because seating in the hall is limited, the number of guests allowed is restricted. Normally, each graduate will only be allocated two (2) tickets.
Further information will be published on this page one month before the ceremonies.
Any friends or family members who cannot attend in person can join the live stream of the celebration or watch a recording of the ceremonies at any time. Links to attend the ceremony online will be posted before the ceremony.
