Why do I need to apply?

You know your own academic career goals best, and we rely on you to let us know when you are planning to complete them.  This is the only way we are alerted to mark you as a potential graduate.  This also allows us to assess your completed and current courses for your program and confirm whether you are eligible to graduate.  

What if I’m not sure I will successfully complete my program requirements in time for May 2024, or there’s a possibility my plans will change?
Please apply to graduate anyway! There is no penalty for applying to graduate and then not meeting your program requirements.  We simply remove your name from the potential grad list once it’s determined that you won’t be eligible to graduate.  But we can’t determine if you are eligible to graduate if you don’t apply in the first place.

I’m taking an Open Acadia course/transfer credit course.  When do I need to have it finished in order to graduate for May 2024?
If you are taking an online course or a course on Letter of Permission (LOP) the grades are due to the Office of the Registrar by May 2, 2024.

Only students who have applied to graduate will receive important convocation information. To avoid missing important deadlines and information, please note messages will come from registrar@acadiau.ca.

A Convocation web-site, e-mail address and further details will be forthcoming in the next few months.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at registrar@acadiau.ca.
