Students who complete their programs in the Fall or Winter terms are invited to participate in the June convocation ceremonies. Those finishing in the Summer term typically attend in November. Regional campus schedules may differ. Only students with “graduated” status are eligible to RSVP and attend. Graduation status can be confirmed through WebAdvisor or by contacting records@fanshawec.ca. Students not yet in “graduated” status should ensure they have submitted an Intent to Graduate form for review.
Eligible students will receive an email about two months before the ceremony with a link to RSVP through Tassel. Monitor your FanshaweOnline and personal email inboxes, including spam. RSVP is required to attend. If you don’t receive an invite, email convocation@fanshawec.ca with your student number. Guest ticket info is included in your confirmation, and additional ticket requests can be sent by email. Tickets can be downloaded or emailed from Tassel.
Graduates must wear Fanshawe’s official red gown and stole to participate in convocation. Gowns are rented through Gaspard and are tailored to each graduate’s size. The rental ensures a consistent look, better fit, and hygiene, as gowns are professionally cleaned before use.
Graduates get diplomas after the ceremony. Non-attendees can pick them up at E1012 two weeks later or request delivery at by filling out the credential request form. Digital docs are on MyCreds. Reprints cost $50 if over a year old. Pay by phone or online banking.
Flowers can be bought on-site or pre-ordered via The Commencement Group:
Official Fanshawe merch is available at the venue or online.
Studio Graduation photos are taken by Studio Nostalgia at the London campus. Details at mygradphotosfanshawe.com.
Convocation Ceremonial photos are taken by GradImages and can be viewed at www.gradimages.ca.
You can shop online from our selection of diploma frames and other convocation gift items. You can also visit us at the venue.
Graduates needing accessibility accommodations should email convocation@fanshawec.ca in advance. International guests may require a personalized invitation letter and a copy of the Save the Date. Staff members with graduating children can contact bhamilton@fanshawec.ca for further guidance.
Due to the five-week labour disruption at Ontario colleges this fall, Fanshawe made the difficult decision to cancel fall convocation ceremonies in London, originally scheduled for November 4 to 5. All graduates invited to attend those ceremonies will be invited to convocation ceremonies in June 2026.
This decision was made to ensure students, their families and supporters had ample time to adjust their plans and potential travel arrangements. We understand how meaningful these events are to our community and realize this news may be disappointing. We appreciate your patience and understanding. We are committed to ensuring all of our graduates can experience a celebration that reflects the significance of your accomplishments.
Graduating students are encouraged to monitor their emails and this page for future updates. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
As a courtesy, printed credentials will be available for pickup starting December 1, 2025, at the Office of the Registrar (E1012). We’ll email graduating students once they’re ready to collect.
Graduates also have the option of waiting to receive their credential at the ceremony in June. Digital credentials and completion letters are already available on MyCreds.
