Convocation

Convocation brings together the entire Saskatchewan Polytechnic community to celebrate the achievements of graduating students. Held annually in June in each campus city, convocation is the pinnacle moment every student works so hard for. The energy and excitement are electric as hundreds of grads line the venue halls, joined by family and friends. Dressed in regalia representative of their academic journey, students hear their name called as they cross the convocation stage to celebrate their hard work and achievements.

International students wanting to invite family or friends to Canada to attend convocation will need to prepare an invitation letter. For details on what to include in the letter, supporting documents and temporary resident visas, visit the convocation FAQ page.
