The graduation ceremony for certificate program students will take place on Fall 2013.
The graduation ceremony for certificate program students brings together students who graduated in the 2012-2013 school year and the Bachelor of Management and Bachelor of Science graduating students who have earned 90 credits (including credits from the 2013 summer trimester).
. Please note that students will not receive an invitation to a subsequent graduation ceremony.
We request that graduates arrive an hour and a half before the beginning of the ceremony, so that there’s enough time for:
Be punctual, and don’t forget your graduation ticket.
We request that guests arrive 45 minutes before the beginning of the ceremony with their tickets in hand. Please note that access to the room where the ceremony will be held is restricted to people with guest tickets. Those without tickets will be turned away. If you forget or lose your ticket, see the FAQ.
Please note that, for logistical reasons, graduates will not be sitting with their guests during the ceremony.
Guests will receive a souvenir program upon entrance. Final-year students and graduates will receive one when they return their gowns.
Graduates will enter in a procession, followed by the honour procession.
After the speech and special mentions, students will be called to the stage.
Graduates will sit according to the order they’ll go on stage. For the distribution of congratulatory letters, they will be asked to stand row by row, following the directions from School personnel.
Before going on stage, School personnel will verify that the students are in the right order.
The graduates will be invited to collect their congratulatory letter. While they are on stage, a photo will be shot. After graduates collect their letter, they will return to their seats in the auditorium.
The ceremony will be followed by a cocktail, served in the lobby, offered by your student association. During this time, graduates will be asked to return their gowns to the changing rooms. Please note that you will be charged if your gown is not returned.
Because of the size and layout of the room, guests are not permitted to move around to take photos or film the event from the proscenium. The School has retained the services of a professional photographer who will sell a set of photographs after the ceremony. Details will be sent out at a later date.
