Convocation and Graduation

Your #forevergolden Moment

Graduation is the golden moment you've been working towards during your time at Laurier.

Graduation refers to successfully completing the degree/diploma requirements of your program.  Convocation is a ceremony at which graduates are celebrated. It is a ceremony to celebrate the completion of your hard work and an opportunity to celebrate your success with your friends and family. 

You are required to apply to graduate regardless of whether you intend to participate in the scheduled ceremony events.
