Students will receive notification of graduation eligibility one month after the application deadline for their specified conferral. Should a student require more urgent written documentation of their graduation eligibility, they may request for a Graduation Status Letter through their Online Services.
The Registrar’s Office cannot confirm a student’s graduation eligibility until they have applied to graduate, successfully completed all program requirements, received final grades, and the degree has been given final approval by the Registrar. Students can request for a Graduation Status Letter should they want written confirmation of their graduation eligibility.
Students may request for a Graduation Status Letter through their Online Services. Students can either pick this letter up in the office, have it emailed, or ask for a copy to be placed in the mail.
Degree parchment packages are available for pick up in the Registrar’s Office for 2 weeks following the specified conferral. The Registrar’s Office releases parchment packages only after the presentation of appropriate photo identification. Degree packages include the degree parchment, hood, and distinction cord (if applicable). Parchment packages that are not picked up within 2 weeks will be mailed via Canada Post (signature required) to the student’s current mailing address and courier fees will be charged for mailing outside of the Edmonton area. Students can request for a 3rd party pick up of their degree package if they are unable to come to the Registrar’s Office during regular business hours. Please contact registrar@concordia.ab.ca for further information.
