Convocation postponed
Updated May 25, 2020
The well-being and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors is Ontario Tech University’s top priority. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation.
In support of public health and the well-being of our campus community, in consultation with student leaders and university administration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our traditional in-person Spring 2020 Convocation ceremony to Spring 2021. Watch for updated information on this page once details are confirmed.
In the meantime, we still want to celebrate your achievements…
Congratulations to the Class of 2020 on your academic success! While we can’t celebrate in person right now, stay tuned for announcements in the near future on what we have in store this summer to mark the occasion and celebrate your Ontario Tech graduation!
