Convocation is a special time for all of us at AU—a time to come together and celebrate the achievements of our graduates. It’ll be a celebration like no other and we’re looking forward to sharing the Athabasca region with our graduates and their loved ones in 2025! 

Everything you need to know about your big day is now available on the Convocation at AU page. Be sure to review it carefully so you’re fully prepared to celebrate this special milestone!

Graduation and convocation are different

Graduation is the official recognition that you have completed all your program requirements and are entitled to claim the credential you have earned. Convocation is the ceremony where the chair of the Board of Governors confers your degree.

Mark your calendars! Registration for Convocation 2025 opens on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. A link to the online registration form will be available here and emailed to eligible graduates. To ensure you receive all convocation updates, please keep your contact information up to date in myAU.

Attending convocation is optional for our grads—so applying to graduate does not automatically register you to attend convocation. To have your name and credential announced during the presentation of degrees, you must register before Friday, May 23. Late registration cannot be accepted.
