Indigenous Graduates

Are you expecting to graduate this year? Congratulations!

Meticulous planning to ensure you're ready for the big day can be overwhelming – but we got you covered! Start by reviewing Laurier's step-by-step Guide to Graduating, then familiarize yourself with the following convocation services for Indigenous students offered at both the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. 

Indigenous graduates who have completed the Indigenous Identity Verification Process can wear Indigenous attire (First Nations, Métis, Inuit), instead of a black gown to their convocation ceremony. 

Indigenous graduates who have completed the Indigenous Identity Verification Process, will also receive a stole from the Office of Indigenous Initiatives. In order to receive your stole, and to let us know that you are wearing traditional regalia, please complete the Indigenous Identity Verification Process and the Indigenous Graduates form after you RSVP for your ceremony.

Students are still required to provide payment of the attendance fee and collect a hood at graduate check-in.
