Convocation Information and Graduation Guide

Students who complete their programs are invited to participate in Fanshawe's convocation ceremonies each June. Regional campus schedules may differ. Only students with “graduated” status are eligible to RSVP and attend. Graduation status can be confirmed through WebAdvisor. Students not yet in “graduated” status should ensure they have submitted an Intent to Graduate form for review.

Convocation Invitations and RSVPs

Eligible students will receive an email about six weeks before the ceremony with a link to RSVP through Tassel. Monitor your personal email inbox, including spam/junk folders. RSVP is required to attend. Students who have successfully completed their programs and are in graduated status, will receive an invitation to their specific ceremony with details on Tuesday May 19th, 2026. Guest ticket information is included in your confirmation. Tickets can be downloaded or emailed from Tassel.

Attire and Gown Rentals

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.

Credentials and Document Access

A credential is the official document that confirms completion of an academic program. It may be a degree, diploma or certificate.

A virtual copy of your credential is available through MyCreds

Printed credentials are provided to graduates at the end of the convocation ceremony. Graduates who do not attend the ceremony may pick up their printed credentials from the Office of the Registrar, room E1012 (Green Zone, London Campus, 1001 Fanshawe College Blvd.) two weeks after the ceremony. Printed credentials are held for one year following graduation.
