About Our Convocation Program

Convocation is a significant event in the academic calendar of colleges and universities, marking the formal ceremony where students receive their degrees or diplomas upon completion of their studies. Here's an overview of what typically happens during a convocation ceremony:

• Preparation and Registration

Before the ceremony, graduates are required to register for convocation and ensure all graduation requirements are met, such as clearing academic credits, fees, and any outstanding obligations.

• Welcome Address

The convocation ceremony typically starts with a welcome address by the university president, chancellor, or another senior official, welcoming attendees and acknowledging the significance of the occasion.

• Conferral of Degrees

The highlight of the ceremony is the conferral of degrees, where graduates are individually recognized and presented with their diplomas or degree certificates. This may involve graduates walking across the stage as their names are called, shaking hands with university officials, and receiving congratulations.

• Award Presentations

Some convocation ceremonies include the presentation of awards, honors, and scholarships to outstanding students, faculty, or alumni for their academic achievements, contributions, or service to the university community.
