Attending convocation after missing the date for online registration
You may still participate in convocation. Gaspard does bring a limited number of extra gowns, hoods, and mortarboards. If you find yourself in this position, arrive early at the James Daly Field House (Max Bell Centre) to rent a hood and gown, which is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
A $50.00 rental fee will be charged at the time that you pick up your academic regalia
You will pick up your attire from the Gaspard table in the Field House (Max Bell). IGAC can be quite warm, we suggest you wear light‐weight clothing and comfortable shoes for the ceremony. If you discover that you need a full-fit gown or extra large cap, go to the Gaspard table for assistance.
You will not receive your parchment at the ceremony, but will receive a congratulatory paper; your actual parchment will be mailed to you approximately 2 weeks after convocation.
