Congratulations!
Well done reaching this exciting milestone in your academic journey.
Now that you're here, take a few minutes to learn about the differences between graduation and convocation at Royal Roads.
Graduation is the official process of having your academic credential conferred. This takes place at an Academic Council meeting, scheduled five times per year.
Convocation is your chance to celebrate your achievements with peers, colleagues, instructors, family and friends. Convocation is held semi-annually in the spring and the fall.
How does graduation work?
Here's what you need to know as you prepare to graduate from RRU.
- You do not need to apply to graduate. Our office will review your student record when you’re eligible for graduation.
- To be eligible for graduation, you need to meet our graduation criteria and your final grades must be approved and submitted to our office by the grade deadline.
- If you miss the grade deadline, our office will automatically assess your student record for graduation eligibility for the next scheduled Academic Council meeting.
