Completing your master’s degree requirements is the responsibility of the student, in consultation with their program, to ensure that all requirements have been satisfied.
Once you have completed all your courses (8) and all other curriculum requirements, students should notify the program office and they will inform the School of Graduate Studies that you are ready to proceed to graduation.
Students are responsible for doing the following:
- notifying the program office of your eligibility using the process posted within the Avenue to Learn, Virtual Office Convocation section,
- indicating whether you will be attending the ceremony via the Graduation Information Centre Tile in Mosaic,
- confirming your name on Mosaic is correct, as the name on your diploma will be exactly as shown on student records,
- confirming your contact details on Mosaic located in your profile details and your address are also correct.
Note: All courses must be completed with at least a B- standing for ‘grade letter’ courses or ‘Pass’ for Pass/Fail courses.
