Family & Friends

Completing university is a significant milestone. Please join us at the University of Lethbridge convocation ceremonies to celebrate the academic accomplishments of our graduates!

All Convocation ceremonies are held in the Co-op Centre for Sport & Wellness at the University of Lethbridge.

Please direct all inquiries to convocation@uleth.ca.

Guest seating is first come, first served. 

  • However, once we reach fire capacity, guests will be directed to overflow seating in classrooms where the ceremony will be live-streamed. 

No tickets are required.

  • There is no limit to how many guests can accompany a graduate.

Doors will open for rush seating one hour prior to the start of each ceremony. 

  • There is often a line prior to doors opening.
  • Accessible seating is at the TOP of the bleachers and limited.

Food and drinks are NOT permitted in the gymnasium/bleachers during ceremonies. 

  • If you do purchase something (e.g. coffee), please be sure you have enough time to finish it before sitting.
  • If not, you will have to remain on the track before you can sit in the bleachers. 
  • This is for safety purposes and cleanliness, as we cannot risk or clean spills during a ceremony. 

Please do not leave empty seats/spaces between guests. 

  • We want to ensure that as many guests as possible are able to sit with their groups. By moving a spot over and not leaving an empty seat between groups, you provide the opportunity for two or more people to sit together.
  • If you are holding seats for guests that are guaranteed to show up, please clearly have a jacket or other belonging visible on the seat.
