Fall Convocation 2026

Convocation is a special time to celebrate your achievements with family and friends, and we look forward to celebrating with you on October 16, 2026!

Graduates: Please confirm your ceremony time on the “Intent to Graduate” page in your Brock Student Portal. Review other pre-ceremony information on the Graduands page.

Guest Limits

Due to limited seating in Convocation Hall, and to provide equal opportunity to all graduates attending their ceremony, graduating students will be limited to two guests.

New for Fall 2026

Guest Ticket Claim Process

All eligible graduating students are entitled to two (2) complimentary guest tickets for their Convocation ceremony. These tickets are not automatically issued and must be reserved by each graduating student no later than Thursday, October 8 at 11:59 p.m.

Any unclaimed tickets will be released and made available beginning Friday, October 9 at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) for graduating students wishing to bring additional guests, subject to venue capacity and ticket availability.

Please note that additional guest tickets cannot be guaranteed. Further details regarding the additional ticket request process will be shared following the initial reservation period. Please check back for updates prior to October 8.

Important: Each ticket contains a unique barcode and may only be used by one guest. Once scanned, a ticket becomes invalid. Sharing, duplicating, or distributing copies of tickets may result in admission issues or delays. Please ensure that each guest receives their own unique ticket.

Additional friends and family can join the celebration too! All Convocation ceremonies will be livestreamed online at brocku.ca/livestream.
