The Corner Brook Spring Convocation schedule can be found here: https://mun.ca/convocation/corner-brook/ceremonies/schedule/ 

Application to graduate and Registration to attend Convocation

Graduates are required to complete 3 steps;

1. Apply to graduate
2. Register to attend Convocation
3. Book your academic dress

The deadline to apply to graduate has passed. Registration to attend convocation will be accessible in mid March. Please visit Self Service to register.

Academic Dress

Academic dress is the signature attire worn by graduates during convocation. The color of the hood varies, reflecting your academic degree and field of study, making each one uniquely significant. 

I am an Indigenous student. Do I need to rent academic dress? 

Indigenous students are not required to wear the traditional black gown. However, you must wear or carry the hood that represents your academic degree and field of study. The rental cost for the hood will be $30.

How much does the academic dress/gown rental cost?  

The cost of academic dress/gown rental ordered before the registration deadline is $65. After the deadline the rental cost is $90 payable when picking up your academic dress/gown on the day of Convocation. For Grenfell Campus, academic dress will be available for pickup on Wednesday, May 13th 11 am to 3 pm or one hour prior to your ceremony at the Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre. Please note that we cannot guarantee your specific academic dress (size, hood, etc.) beyond the rental deadline.  

Photography

There will be a professional photographer on-site who will take photos of each graduate while crossing the stage, as well as backstage. About two to three weeks following Convocation, photo proofs will be sent to graduates via their MUN email address with details on how to purchase. 

Tickets for Convocation

Graduates can request up to three guest tickets in Corner Brook per graduate, per ceremony via Self Service. There is no cost for guest tickets and they will be provided to you, the graduate, during gown pick up, on Wednesday, May 13.

If you'd like to put your name on the list for extra tickets, please email Heather Dawson at heather.dawson@mun.ca and include the following information: which session you are attending and the number of extra tickets you are requesting.
