Convocation

Convocation ceremonies are held in the second week of 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.

Continuing Studies

Classes start throughout the year. They are advertised in the Continuing Studies program booklet, which is delivered to homes in the university region in late August for the Fall semester and early January for the Winter semester. Registration dates are given in the Continuing Studies booklet.
