Depending on the Convocation schedule, graduates receiving two degrees may attend the respective Convocation session and cross the stage for each degree, whether the degree is awarded at the same session or different sessions. If your degrees are being awarded at different sessions and you decide to only attend one of those sessions, information on how to receive your other parchment is mailed to you from graduation@mun.ca to your @mun.ca email prior to Convocation. Options normally include pick-up in person from the Registrar’s Office or having it mailed to you. 

Every effort will be made to include your certificate or diploma parchment with your degree, if time and resources permit. Otherwise, you can choose to pick it up or have it mailed to you. 

Degree parchments are held at the Registrar’s Office for one week after Convocation for pick-up. The Registrar’s Office will then begin a mail-out and the parchment will be sent to your permanent address, which you can verify or update via . Information on how to receive your parchment will be mailed to you from graduation@mun.ca to your @mun.ca email prior to Convocation.  

If registration is still open, you can update your status through Self-Service to indicate you �ɴDz�’t be attending. You may also request a refund for your academic dress rental by contacting . After registration closes, please reach out to convocation@mun.ca for further assistance. 

The experience for deferred graduates will be exactly the same as it is for all graduates attending Convocation, except since deferred graduates will have already received their parchment, they will not receive another one backstage at Convocation. Deferred graduates attending a future session do not need to bring their parchment to the ceremony. 

For questions contact convocation@mun.ca. 

For students completing their program requirements by the end of the fall semester, your program will be awarded at an in absentia graduation in February. There is no Convocation ceremony in February. Parchments for graduates will be available for pick up from the Registrar’s Office or can be mailed to you. If you want to cross the stage at Convocation, students who graduate in February normally attend the Spring Convocation ceremony. You will be assigned to the upcoming Spring Convocation ceremonies and will have the option to postpone attendance, if you wish, by registering at when the announcement is made to register to attend Convocation.  

Although you will have already received your parchment in the mail, your experience at Convocation will be the same as it is for all graduates. No distinction is made on stage for those who are graduating during that Convocation and those who had graduated at a previous time. The only difference is that you will not receive your parchment at Convocation (given out backstage after crossing the stage) as you would have already received it following the in absentia graduation in February.
