Non-semester-based programs
Most programs at UFV try to follow the semester dates. However, some may start earlier or end later. Students should check with their department to confirm.
Convocation
Convocation ceremonies are held in June. The date, time, and location of the ceremonies is available online at ufv.ca/convocation.
Students must apply to graduate by April 1. There is a $25 graduation fee, plus a regalia rental fee. Regalia should be ordered online prior to the ceremony; see ufv.ca/convocation for details or email convocation@ufv.ca.
Applications that are received after April 1 are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are subject to a late application fee.
Continuing Education
Classes start throughout the year. For information on classes and registration dates, see the Continuing Education website.
A refund can be granted before, but not after, the beginning of the second class. After instruction begins, no refund is permitted for courses of fewer than two sessions.
