We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Graduating students and convocation

Below are our most frequently asked questions from graduating students about convocation:

How do I apply to graduate?

There are three periods throughout the year to apply for graduation online via MyCampus—view the intake periods for the application to graduate.
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 $40 application fee for late applications.
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.
