No application to graduate in Spring 2023 will be accepted after April 28. Students must apply to graduate to receive their degrees, regardless of whether they plan to attend Convocation.

Graduands who apply to graduate will receive an email from the University of Windsor’s Convocation partner Marching Order, which will allow them to register for their ceremony, record their name and the phonetic pronunciation, and claim a maximum of three guest tickets.

Graduands do not require a ticket. Guests without a ticket can watch the ceremony in the overflow viewing area in the adjoining gym.

Spring 2023 Convocation ceremonies will run in 11 sessions from May 30 to June 2. Find the full schedule and ceremonial day information and updates here. Note: Graduands in combined programs attend the session of their primary major.

International students who would like to invite their family and require an invitation letter must wait until their graduation eligibility status is “conditionally eligible” before submitting the request. Refer to Ask.uwindsor.ca for further information.

In addition, international students who require a visa graduation letter for their post-graduate work permit applications must wait until their graduation eligibility status is “approved” before submitting the request. Refer to Ask.uwindsor.ca for further details.
