Attending convocation
Convocation is your moment to celebrate all the hard work and dedication that brought you here. If you’re attending in person, you’ll cross the stage in front of family, friends and the UM community.
Virtual convocation
Your ceremony will be live-streamed so you—and anyone cheering you on—can watch from anywhere. Links to the live streams will be available here on event day.
Family and friends attending convocation
Guests should arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins. Seating is general admission and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Doors open one hour before each ceremony.
Accessibility
Accessible entrances and seating are available, and there are designated spaces for wheelchairs. If you or your guests need specific accommodations—connect with Student Accessibility Services in advance.
Parking
Free parking is available for graduates and their guests during convocation in the U and Q parking lots.
Follow signage and the directions of on-site staff to find designated convocation parking. Arrive early to allow extra time to park—campus is busy during ceremonies. Learn more about parking at convocation
Photography
Professional photographers will take photos of you on stage and in posed sessions. After the ceremony, you’ll receive an email with a link to view and purchase your photos.
Guests are also welcome to take pictures, but please be mindful of those around you.
Available for purchase
- UM mementos
- Degree, diploma and certificate frames
Visit the on-site bookstore booth or visit the bookstore website.

Click here for a pre-sale. Please note that flowers will also be available on-site for purchase.
Media Relations
Media outlets are welcome to attend convocation ceremonies but please reach out to mediarelations@umanitoba.ca in advance about which ceremony you would like to attend. This gives us time to find or create the ideal location that works for capturing video and photography without disrupting the lines of sight for the friends and family of graduates. Media relations can also connect you with graduates if you are looking for advance interviews.
Convocation traditions
Convocation ceremonies are rooted in tradition and full of symbolism. Learn about what those are and why they’re important.
Honour song
Beginning each convocation ceremony with an Honour Song is a sign of respect and recognition of Indigenous Peoples as caretakers of this land. It recognizes our collective identities, cultures and languages, and the ongoing commitment of the university to Reconciliation. This song acknowledges the significant accomplishments of the graduates’ journeys as well as their transition into the next stages in their lives.
Chancellor's and President's regalia
In the fall of 2022, in consultation with members of the Indigenous community at UM and a committee led by Catherine Cook, former Vice-President (Indigenous), new academic regalia were commissioned for the Chancellor and the President. The new robe designs honour the First Peoples of these lands, demonstrating UM’s commitment to Reconciliation and supporting a graduation experience that feels more welcoming for Indigenous students.
Jackie Traverse, a UM alum and Ojibway woman from Lake St. Martin First Nation, developed the designs in partnership with beader Shannon Denney-Edwards, a Canadian of Métis, French and Islandic descent, and robe fabricator Beverli Barnes.
The robes are constructed of black silk and employ gold piping as a nod to the design the President and Chancellor have worn to date, which were modeled after the University of Oxford’s academic dress. On these re-imagined gowns, motifs have been applied through a combination of embroidery and traditional beading using gold accents. Ms. Traverse explains how each aspect has a deeper meaning:
“The crocuses represent Manitoba and give us our sense of place. The use of white, yellow, black and red represents the four nations. The use of red and orange represent the missing Indigenous women and children. The roots symbolize our connections to this institution and to one another.”
The robes were worn for the first time at Spring Convocation 2023.
Academic dress
The colourful ensemble of gown, hood (worn over the shoulders) and cap worn by graduands and members of the academic procession has deep historical roots. Most universities and colleges in Canada, including the University of Manitoba, follow the British tradition of academic dress.
There are three types of gowns at the University of Manitoba: the Bachelor’s and Master’s gowns are black; the Doctor of Philosophy gown is black with red velvet bars on the sleeves and front panels; and the Honorary Doctor’s gown is scarlet. Stoles can be worn over gowns and the colour of each hood lining signifies the degree to be presented to the graduand.
View the academic dress chart to learn more, including what each colour and stole pattern represents.
