Graduands' Assembly Area

After graduands check-in, they will be directed to the marshalling area for assembly for Convocation.  You only need to have your call card with you.  Your diploma and personal belongings should be left with a relative or friend as that area will not be secured during the ceremony.


Crossing the Stage

When graduands proceed on stage and their name is called, the Orator’s Marshall directs them to the Chancellor. The graduates then proceed off the stage to be directed back to their seat.


Guest Tickets

Due to the size of the venue, there is a cap on the number of guest tickets per graduate.

*Please note the graduate does not require a ticket.
