Degrees, diplomas and certificates are awarded to students who successfully complete programs as prescribed by Academic Council. Convocation exercises will take place in the Spring and Fall of each year as set out in 'Significant Dates'. Please note it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all courses required for graduation have been successfully completed and that they make formal application to graduate during their graduating semester or year. Deadlines for completion of applications to graduate are outlined under Significant Dates. The late fee for applications to graduate is $40 (subject to change and non-refundable). Students may withdraw their application to graduate - see 'Significant Dates' for applicable deadlines.

NOTE:

NO APPLICATIONS TO GRADUATE WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE FINAL DEADLINE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ANY DATE STAMPED COPY OF AN APPLICATION, VERIFYING SUBMISSION OF THE APPLICATION PRIOR TO THE DEADLINE.

There is an administrative charge of $15 (subject to change) for each graduating student attending Convocation, payable at the time of Convocation. There is an administrative charge of $15 (subject to change) for those students graduating in absentia (graduating students who do not attend Convocation) payable before graduation documents can be picked up or mailed.

Graduation award documents will be destroyed one year following convocation. Documents may be re-issued with a $70 (subject to change) fee.

Should a student complete, prior to graduation, the requirements for two options/majors of the same degree program, the options/majors will be reflected on the academic (transcript) record. Depending on the program, it may also be recorded on the graduation award. Such students must first obtain permission, as well as a program of study, from the program department concerned and must indicate the request for a double option/major on the Application to Graduate.

For degree recipients, minors will not be indicated on the graduation award document, but will be recorded on the official transcript. Depending on the program, the major/option may be recorded on the graduation award, however, the majority of majors/options are only reflected on the transcript.

Graduates who wish to have their original graduation document revised or replaced should complete a Reissue Request form, available at the Undergraduate Admissions Information Centre counter and the www.ryerson.ca/forms web link. The fee for replacement of the graduation document is $70 (subject to change).

Students who have a Negative Service Indicator for either an outstanding debt in excess of $10 (subject to change) or have equipment, cage cards, and/or library books overdue, wireless NetReady cards or ResNet equipment to Computing and Communications Services as of the final date to clear their record for graduation, will receive a Withhold Notice in lieu of their graduation award at their convocation ceremony.

Students must clear their record and supply proof to Academic Advising before they can receive their award document or an officially certified transcript.

After graduating, a student's Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for their program of studies is finalized. Students cannot upgrade their CGPA in a Ryerson program after graduation from the program. Similarly, students may only meet requirements for the Ryerson minors during their Ryerson program studies. A student cannot become eligible for a Ryerson minor after graduation from their Ryerson program.
