Ready to Graduate?

The University of Regina has implemented rolling conferral of degrees. Degrees can be awarded to students every month during the months of September, October, November, January, February, March, April, May and June. These are the months that Executive of Council of the University of Regina meets to approve prospective graduands. All requirements for the degree must have been met by the end of the previous month. For example, if Executive of Council meets on September 22, all requirements for the degree must be met by August 31.

Once the degree has been awarded, it will be shown on the transcript. Students may request an official transcript to certify that they have earned the degree.

It is important students pay attention to deadlines in order to graduate on time.

To graduate, all students must apply for graduation regardless of their intention to attend the Convocation Ceremony. 

To apply for graduation, you must log into your UR Self-Service and ensure that the program for which you will apply is your current program. If you have any questions, please contact FGSR.

Although degrees are awarded every month, diplomas are distributed at the formal convocation ceremonies held in the Spring and Fall. Students who are unable to attend a formal convocation ceremony to receive their diploma can request an early release of the parchment by completing the Early Release of Parchment form and submitting it, along with the required fee, to the Registrar’s Office. There is no charge for diplomas handed out at ceremonies.

Please note that dates are subject to change. Please contact grad.defense@uregina.ca if you have any questions.
