Convocation

The moment you've been working towards during your time at Luther is almost here! It’s time to celebrate your achievements! 

Luther holds a convocation ceremony for our students in addition to Laurier’s ceremony on the same day. This way you'll get to be recognized by our close-knit community at Luther, and the larger institution of Laurier. Luther's ceremony also has specific awards and recognitions for our students. 

You are required to apply to graduate regardless of whether you intend to participate in the scheduled ceremony events. Please see the Apply to Graduate webpage for instructions on how to apply, and application deadlines.

Graduates must RSVP (and provide number of guests) to attend convocation. Qualifying students will recieve invitations through their student email.
