Convocation attire

Your Convocation attire is what you wear during your ceremony when you graduate. It’s available in the gown room at your ceremony location. Be sure to arrive at least an hour before the ceremony begins to give yourself enough time to get ready.

  • Exceptions approved by the Office of the Registrar include:
    • Indigenous students and African Canadian students may wear items of cultural significance.
    • Active military personnel may wear their dress uniform.
    • Clergy/members of religious orders may wear their religious apparel. 
    • Any additional exceptions must be approved by the Office of the Registrar. Contact your campus Student Services team for more information.
