Convocation is an important milestone in your academic journey and a time to celebrate the culmination of your hard work, dedication and contributions to the Nipissing University community. With ongoing public health measures in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nipissing University will hold its spring convocation virtually this June.
Four virtual ceremony dates have been selected to provide a personalized convocation day experience:
- Faculty of Arts & Science – Tuesday, June 15, 2021
- Schulich School of Education – Thursday, June 17, 2021
- School of Business, School of Criminology & Criminal Justice, School of Social Work – Tuesday, June 22, 2021
- School of Nursing – Thursday, June 24, 2021
While we cannot gather in person to celebrate, graduates will receive a Grad Box in the mail to assist with their at-home celebrations. More details on the Grad Boxes can be found below.
Please continue to return to this site for updates and more details on Convocation 2021. We look forward to celebrating with you as you officially become a Nipissing University alumnus.
Be sure to complete the "Apply to Graduate” form on WebAdvisor by April 1, 2021.
What Time is the Ceremony?
There is no set time that you are required to tune in to your ceremony. The virtual convocation pages for each ceremony will launch at 9 a.m. and will remain available for viewing at any time for many weeks. We encourage graduates and their supporters to schedule a time that is convenient to perform their own at-home celebration.
