If you are in your final term to complete your degree requirements, you must apply to graduate through UWinsite Student whether or not you plan to attend a Convocation ceremony. If you do not apply to graduate, you will not receive your diploma or degree notation on your final transcript. You do need to wait for final grades. If you are not eligible, your file will be updated for a future application when you’re ready.
The no-fee deadlines to apply to graduate are March 15 for Spring Convocation in May/June and August 1 for Fall Convocation in October, with a late fee of $80.00 for application received after the deadlines. No application to graduate will be accepted during the four weeks prior to Convocation.
The application to graduate in UWinsite Student will generally open in early December for Spring Convocation and around July 15 for Fall Convocation.
After you apply:
An email will be sent (UWin email account) after the application deadline from convocation@uwindsor.ca with login information to your Tassel profile (Convocation Software Partner). You will use your login to verify your information and claim your guest tickets.
Unable to attend? RSVP accordingly on Tassel. Update your mailing address for degree mailings if you selected and paid for mailing on your graduation application. Diplomas will not automatically be mailed if you do not attend.
Name verification – Your name will appear on your diploma as it appears under your “Primary” name on your UWinsite student profile. Deadlines to update how your name will be displayed on your diploma and Tassel will be communicated. A $50.00 fee will apply if your degree needs to be reprinted after the deadline. Please email convocation@uwindsor.ca and include a copy of your formal ID if your name needs to be updated on UWinsite.
International students, wait for "Approved" status for invitation/visa letters. We cannot postpone your ceremony to future Convocations due to the number of requests and limited seating.
