Application to Graduate
Every candidate for a degree must make a formal application to graduate via the Student Service Centre (SSC). An application is required regardless of whether you plan to participate in the scheduled ceremonies.
Preparing to Graduate
Students may convocate in either November or June annually.
Graduation Application Deadlines
For graduate students, all degree program requirements must be completed by the degree completion deadlines set by the College of Graduate Studies. Please visit the College of Graduate Studies site to view these dates by clicking here.
You can check your grad application status online through the Student Service Centre (SSC). Login, go to Applications: Graduation, on the left side menu, select the correct degree program, then select the Get/Edit/View Application button.
Please note: The College of Graduate Studies confirms each student’s eligibility for graduation and recommends the names of the successful applicants to be presented to Senate.
For more information on graduation ceremonies, including ceremony schedules, gown rental, and historical data, please visit Graduation at UBC. (Please note there are no ceremonies in November, you will be invited to attend the following June ceremonies).
No student will receive a degree until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.
Fees Payable Upon Completion of Degree
Candidates who have paid more than the minimum installments for their degree will have their tuition fees prorated to the end of the month in which the Dean, College of Graduate Studies, confirms that all degree requirements have been completed. This includes the submission of either their major paper or final project to their department or their thesis to the College of Graduate Studies. Note: Student fees are not prorated. Fees are due in September, January, and May for graduate students.
