In current times, the major functions of convocation are the election of representatives to university governing bodies and the admission of candidates to degrees. The chancellor, appointed by senate as the chair of convocation, is the highest official and spokesperson of the university. The convocation ceremony marks the transition from the role of student to the holder of a degree with its accompanying rights and privileges. The ceremony, solemnized in the presence of the university community and family and friends of the graduands, consists of three parts: a procession marking the leaving of the old status and entering the new; the president’s statement to the graduands, the secretary’s petition and the chancellor’s consent for their admission; followed by individual presentation by a university orator and admission by the chancellor to the degrees to which they are entitled. As graduates are admitted to their degrees, a graduation hood, which has a colour symbolizing a particular degree, is placed over each graduate’s head. U N I V E R S I T Y O F S A S K AT C H E WA N 6 Spring Convocation 2015 ENTRANCE Graduands in their academic dress march in procession into the ceremony in the following order: graduands in the order in which their degrees are to be conferred; faculty; board of governors; senate; guests of honour; the president; the chancellor; the lieutenant governor. When the members of convocation reach their places they remain standing during the Vice-Regal Salute, the singing of “O Canada” and the invocation. ORDER OF THE CEREMONY The first business is the conferring of honorary degrees, followed by convocation address, president’s statement to the graduands, the conferring of degrees and the presentation of awards.
