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.
