Graduating students and convocation

• How do I apply to graduate?

  There are three periods throughout the year to apply for graduation.

  Follow these steps to apply to graduate: 

  1. Go to MyOntarioTech.
  2. Select the Current students box.
  3. In the Student records box, select Apply to graduate. Note: Applications will only be available during the three open application periods.  
  4. Complete and submit the online form. 
• I missed the deadline to apply to graduate. What should I do?

  Contact the Office of the Registrar to see if you are eligible to submit a late application to graduate.

  Note: There is a $50 application fee for late applications.

• When can I get my parchment and/or official transcript?

  Students will be able to pick up their parchment during their convocation ceremony. If you are not attending convocation, you can pick up your parchment one week after convocation at the Registrar's Office. If you are unable to pick up your parchment in person, you can request that it be mailed to you. Please note that the courier can take eight weeks from the date of the ceremony. 

  Students can submit a request to receive their Official Transcript (which includes conferral date) once they have received confirmation that their degree has been conferred by academic council.

  If you have any questions about these processes, please do not hesitate to connect with us.

• Do I need tickets for my guests to attend the convocation ceremony?
  Yes, details will be on the convocation web page when announced.
• I need a letter of invitation for my guests that are coming to Canada from another country for the convocation ceremony. How do I obtain this letter?

  Follow the instructions on our inviting relatives to visit web page for your guest(s), as you must write this letter yourself.
