Convocation

Grebel's 2024 Convocation Celebration will take place on April 14, 2024, at 2 pm at the Humanities Theatre.

If you are graduating from the PACS program this year, congratulations! We want to celebrate your achievement with you! This celebration is for all students who have completed or completing their studies in Fall 2023, Winter 2024, or Spring 2024. 

Submit your Application to Graduate

To graduate from Waterloo and obtain your diploma, it is required that you fill out an Application to Graduate form. To participate in the June convocation, this form is due by March 1, 2024, or by August 1, 2024 for the October convocation. More information about getting ready for Waterloo's convocation can be found on the Registrar's Office Convocation website.

Grebel's Convocation Celebration

If you have completed or are completing your studies in Fall 2023, Winter 2024, or Spring 2024, please fill in the Convocation Form regardless of whether you plan to participate in Grebel’s Convocation celebration event. The information provided in the form moves you from the status of a current student to Grebel alumni, complete with the perks of attending future alumni events!

As a PACS student, you have been a part of the Grebel community in some capacity throughout your undergraduate degree at UWaterloo. We have been gifted by your presence in this place and want to seize this opportunity to celebrate your achievement with you! Conrad Grebel has traditionally held its convocation ceremony to celebrate this bond. (This in no way replaces the University of Waterloo Convocation when you will receive your official degree.) Grebel's convocation involves students from the PACS, MUSIC, MPACS MTS, and residence programs to come together and recognize their achievements.

On the form, there is a space to indicate to whom you would like Grebel to send convocation invitations on your behalf. Also, after the forms are submitted you will be notified about the participating undergraduates to nominate a valedictorian. 

If someone you know is planning to graduate and they have not yet received an email from Rebecca Shelley (Residence/Associate); Claudia Van Decker (Music), Ndagire Brendah (PACS), Thomas Fraser (MPACS) or Birgit Moscinski or Mariia Smyrnova (MTS), have them contact their respective Administrative Officer/Coordinator or let one of us know to contact them.
