Requesting graduation

If you intend to graduate in June 2006, you must request to do so on the SWS. Please note the following important dates:

After this date, any requests, changes or deletions must be done at your college registrar’s office.

ROSI will identify those students who may have completed the appropriate number of courses to qualify for graduation in June 2006.
When you login to the SWS, ROSI will communicate to you the degree you might be eligible to receive. You will be prompted to request graduation with the specified degree or to indicate that you do not wish to graduate with the specified degree. If you wish to graduate, but with a different degree from the one specified (e.g., ROSI indicates that you might be eligible to receive an Hon. B.A., but you wish to graduate with an Hon. B.Sc.), you must contact your college registrar’s office.

Check that you’re satisfying all the requirements

In order to make sure that you will be eligible to graduate, consult your college registrar’s office and your department/program office as early as possible regarding your final selection of courses for the 2005-2006 fall-winter sessions. Don’t wait until it is too late to make changes to your course and subject POSt selections.

Remember that it is your responsibility to verify that you have fulfilled all program and degree requirements. For assistance, you can refer to the “Degree Requirements” section of the Calendar.

When you request graduation, please ensure that your subject POSts (specialists, majors and/or minors) are correct and up to date on the SWS. If you need to make changes to your subject POSts, please contact your college registrar. If you want to add or change a Type 2 or 3 subject POSt, you must do so at your college. Type 1 subject POSts may be changed on the SWS up to March 12, 2006, when assessment for graduation begins.

If you are upgrading a previously-conferred B.A. or B.Sc. to an H.B.A. or H.B.Sc., you can use the SWS to confirm this, or can submit a request at your college registrar’s office. Students who upgrade to an honours degree are not eligible to attend the convocation ceremony to receive the upgraded degree.

Can’t get into a course you need to graduate? The Dean’s Promise.

The Faculty is committed to ensuring that graduating students can enrol in a set of courses that will allow them to graduate. This commitment depends upon the student doing all that is necessary at the optimum/appropriate times as indicated in this Handbook and in the Calendar. Students must have enrolled in appropriate programs (changes to program in the final year of graduation may not be considered), completed appropriate prerequisites, and requested courses from a full range of the possible options that would allow them to complete their program and degree. Students must have used the SWS to attempt to enrol in these courses at the earliest possible opportunity. If students are in this situation, they should contact their College Registrar’s office by the first week of classes in September.
