Welcome to the Graduation Information Page! Here you'll find all the necessary details to ensure a smooth graduation process.
Important Notes Regarding Graduation
- Queen鈥檚 University holds graduation ceremonies twice per year 鈥 Spring (Winter in SOLUS) and Fall (Summer in SOLUS). Spring graduation ceremonies are generally held in June, while Fall graduation ceremonies are generally held in November.
- Spring Graduation is for students completing their final courses in either the Fall or Winter term. Fall Graduation is for students completing their final courses in the Summer term.
- All submitted applications for the Winter term will remain in 鈥淚n Review鈥 status until the Winter term final grades have been submitted around the middle to end of May. This included students whose last course was completed in the Fall term. Please note that due to the volume of applications we receive, no news is considered good news. Should there be an issue with your application/eligibility we will contact you directly through your Queen鈥檚 email.
- All submitted applications for the Summer term will remain 鈥淚n Review鈥 status until around the middle of October.
- Deferred exams/assignments may not align with Degree List deadlines, therefore students may need to plan to hold off graduating until the next graduation cycle if their grades are not updated and posted to their student record by a particular cycle deadline.
- Students who have taken their last required courses as transfer credits may also need to consider holding off to graduate until the subsequent graduation cycle if their transfer credits are not updated and posted to their student record by a particular cycle deadline.
- Students can be added late to the official degree list up until the degree conferral date for that graduation cycle. Students in this situation should be aware that their names will not be listed in the program, and they may no longer be eligible for ceremony tickets. It is recommended students postpone their graduation for the next graduation cycle so that they can be guaranteed tickets for their guests.
