    At the ceremony, you will hand the Name Card to the official reader, who will announce your name as it is printed on this card. The name card also contains your seat number in the Jubilee Auditorium in the lower right hand corner. This is an assigned seat to place you in the order that graduates cross the stage.

  • Guest Tickets
    Guest tickets are reserved for each graduand who advises us of their intention to attend the ceremony.

Academic apparel

Academic apparel must be worn by all graduands participating in the ceremony and should be reserved at least three weeks prior to your Convocation date.
