-
Do I need tickets for my guests to attend the convocation ceremony?
No. Tickets are not issued for the convocation ceremony, however, we ask that graduates only bring a maximum of five guests to ensure that all individuals are accommodated.
-
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 how to provide a letter of invitation for your guest(s), as you must write this letter yourself.
If you apply to graduate during the winter semester, you will receive notification by the end of May regarding the outcome of your application. If you are an international student, you have access to download a verification of enrolment letter which includes your program of study, year level, current status as a student (full-time or part-time) and your expected graduation date.
To generate your letters, log into MyCampus and select the verification of enrolment letter link, under the Student Records section of the OT Undergraduate tab.
