-
TBD
(same
deadline
for
all
faculties)
-
last
day
to
get
a
student's
name
on
the
convocation
program.
This
means
that
degree
requirements
(including
the PSYCH
499A/B/C
marks)
must
be
completed
a
few
days
sooner
because
signatures
from
several
advisors
may
be
required
before
the
graduation
decision
is
official,
and
it
may
take
a
few
days
to
collect
those
signatures
and
deliver
the
necessary
paperwork
to
the
Registrar's
Office.
The
Registrar's
Office
also
needs
sufficient
time
to
do
the
coding
necessary
on
the
students'
records
before
the
deadline.
Note: Students can be recommended to graduate at October convocation even if their names do not appear in the convocation program. - TBD (Faculty of Science) - last day to approve a student's request to graduate for October convocation (i.e., signatures from the advisors of all of the student's academic plans and coding on the record completed by the Registrar's Office).
