Graduands

Ambrose University has one annual Convocation Ceremony, but degrees are conferred on three dates throughout the year:

Degree Parchments are provided at Convocation Ceremonies, or can be picked up on campus the following day. After two weeks, parchments will be delivered by regular mail, to the address on file.

Students who are unable to attend the ceremony held immediately following completion of their degree requirements may provide a written request to the Registrar's Office requesting the ability to attend the following Convocation Ceremony. The student's parchment will be issued for the original Convocation and the names will appear in the program at the original Convocation.
