Convocation FAQs
Sask Polytech is actively monitoring the changing COVID-19 landscape. The health and safety of our students and employees remains our top priority and continues to guide our decision-making for all matters including convocation. In the event of a change to convocation plans, graduates will be notified.
Please note: students must register to attend convocation.
There is no formal dress code for convocation as you will be wearing a black gown, which will come to just below the knee. Wear attire that will show below the gown (dress pants, skirt, or long dress), as well as shoes appropriate for a semi-formal event.
When lining up for the ceremony, you will be standing for prolonged periods of time and will be sitting on stage for the ceremony, prior to crossing the stage; therefore, lighter, cooler clothing and comfortable shoes are highly recommended.
Certificates and diplomas are not handed out at the convocation ceremony. Credential packages are typically sent via Canada Post by Registration Services within four (4) weeks of program completion (last day of the program).
MyCreds™ is an additional way to access your official documents electronically. For more information, visit our MyCreds™ page.
