Graduation and Convocation Information 

 
Graduation takes place in November, March, and June.  Note: there is no ceremony in March; degrees are awarded in absentia.

Students must graduate at the ceremony immediately following completion of their degree requirements. Delay of graduation is not permitted. Exception:  students who complete their degree requirements by the end of the Fall Session may choose to delay until June in order to attend a ceremony. 

Information about time, location, and obtaining tickets for convocation ceremonies are normally sent to students approximately three weeks prior to convocation. Please ensure your address is correct on ROSI.  Further details can be obtained at the Office of Convocation

Applying to Graduate 

Master's students are required to submit an Application to Graduate to the OISE Registrar's Office by the following dates: 

July 15 - if completing in the Summer Session (November graduation)

October 15 - if completing in the Fall Session (March or June graduation)

March 15 - if completing in the Winter Session (June graduation)

Further information about deadlines is available at Important Dates.   

Name Changes

Students should review their name on ROSI, as this is the name as it will appear on your diploma. Your name on the title page and abstract of your thesis must also be exactly as you are officially registered on ROSI.  If the necessary change(s) are not made by the deadline for name changes set by the Office of Convocation, there is a $60.00 fee to have a new diploma printed.

Outstanding Fees

Students who have outstanding fees will be permitted to attend convocation and receive their diploma; however, transcripts will not be released until fees have been paid.
