Update on June Convocation

As noted in the President Rhonda Lenton’s recent message to students, the June convocation ceremony will not be taking place in person:

“Unfortunately, it will not be possible for the spring ceremonies to go forward as planned, but our team is working on developing a virtual option. While not a replacement, we want to find a meaningful way to celebrate your academic achievements. We are also planning on expanding our Fall 2020 ceremony should you wish to attend in person at that time. Once we have worked out the details, we will send further information to our graduating class as soon as possible.”

Please stay tuned for further details as they become available. 

Visit the YorkU Convocation Website for details

Remember: Even though convocation will not be proceeding as planned, you are still eligible to graduate from your program on time.

Check the status of your application to graduate

Information about how and when the Degree Audit Office assesses your eligibility to graduate can be found here. Once final grade reports are released, your academic decision will confirm whether or not you are eligible to graduate. Your graduation decision and the conferral date will appear on your grade report and transcript as early as mid-May.

Transcripts and diplomas

You can order your transcript online. You or your potential employer can also go to YU Verify to confirm your credentials. Once you’ve graduated, you will receive details about how to obtain your diploma.

Congratulations, 2020 graduates!
