Dates + Times

Spring Convocation 2024

Spring Convocation 2024 will be held in the Universiade Pavilion (Butterdome) as the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is undergoing renovations from June 2 until September of 2024. Please rest assured that we are putting plans in place to make Convocation in the Butterdome just as special as it is in the Jubilee Auditorium. Note that we did explore other venues in Edmonton for the ceremonies and the Butterdome made the most sense for the University based on availability, cost and location. This is also not the first time we have moved Convocation to the Butterdome so we do have experience in what needs to be done to make the Butterdome a wonderful venue for the Convocation ceremonies.

The ceremonies will be held June 2 (Augustana in Camrose), 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2024. Dates and times for the ceremonies are listed below by Faculty:

Guest tickets

Spring Convocation 2024

If you are planning to attend your Convocation ceremony, you will not need a ticket for yourself, but you must update your attendance on the Graduation Status page in Bear Tracks so that we can reserve a seat for you with your fellow graduates. If your plans change, please change your attendance back to no in Bear Tracks.

You will also need to obtain ceremony tickets for your guests. You will receive an allotment of up to three guest tickets. Only graduates that attend their convocation ceremony will receive guest tickets. All guests, including babies and toddlers, will need their own ticket. Tickets are assigned to specific seats, and there is no fee for guest tickets. Information on how to obtain tickets for the Spring 2024 ceremonies will be posted on this site in April, 2024. 

Location + Parking

Plan for extra time to get to Convocation. There are construction projects on campus that may affect access to parking and campus will be busy with many other students and their families heading to Convocation.

Parking is available in the Jubilee Carpark located adjacent to the Jubilee Auditorium. Surface parking is available on the south side. A parking fee will be charged during the ceremony. See Parking Lot locations for parking rates and more parking options.

Accessibility

If you require accessible seating for yourself (wheelchair, sign language interpreter access, etc.) please contact convocation@ualberta.ca before April 30, 2024 to discuss arrangements.
