The degree parchments for May 2011 graduates, that did not attend the convocation ceremony, have been mailed out on June 27, 2011.

Please be advised that the Registrar’s Office will hold unclaimed parchments for a maximum of 12 months after graduation.  Any unclaimed parchments will be destroyed after 12 months.  This includes those not handed out at convocation (Spring and Fall graduates only), those that were to be picked up in person but were not claimed, those that were mailed but returned to the Registrar’s Office as a result of incorrect or incomplete address or not having been claimed at a postal outlet (as instructed by Canada Post) or courier depot (as instructed by a courier company), those that were not issued due to a financial hold on a student’s records, or those that were reprinted immediately after convocation due to corrections.

All parchments will be mailed approximately 2 weeks after the final convocation ceremony.   Your parchment will be mailed to the address in your Aurora record.  Please make certain that the address that appears there is current and accurate.

If you do not receive your parchment, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Registrar’s Office within this 12 month period.  Any requests for your parchment after this time will be processed as replacement; there is a fee of $60.00 (subject to change) for this service.

Alternatively, you may make the following arrangements no later than 1 week prior to your Convocation:

• If you would like to pick up your parchment, you must fill out the Request to Pick Up Parchment form and submit to the Registrar’s Office.  Parchments will be available for pick- approximately 2 weeks after the final convocation ceremony.
