Are you planning on graduating in May?

This is a reminder of the following deadline for May 2016 Graduation:

Friday, February 26, 2016 is the last day for degree conferral and Congregation applications to be submitted to Enrolment Services by all graduate students expecting to graduate in May. Application is made through the Student Service Centre.

Friday, April 22, 2016 is the last day for final master’s theses and doctoral dissertations to be accepted by the Faculty of Graduate Studies (G+PS) for May 2016 degree granting and congregation (must be approved and accepted by 4:00 pm), and it is the deadline for graduate programs to notify G+PS that all requirements (including major papers) have been met for non-thesis master’s degrees for May graduation.

Students that applied to have their degree awarded in November, but did not meet the deadline should apply again for May graduation. 

Enrolment Services will not accept any late applications for graduation, and there will be no exceptions to the February 26, 2016 deadline.
