The only students who do not need to complete the St. Lawrence College Application for Graduation are students who are enrolled in Laurentian University collaborative programs. In the fall semester, these students would have completed a form from their Coordinator in order for Laurentian to process and release their credentials in the spring.

You can only apply online to one of the programs for which you will be receiving a credential. Please apply only for that one program then visit Student Services in Brockville or Cornwall, or your Academic School Office in Kingston in order to complete a paper application for the other(s).

If you have not yet completed your Application for Graduation, please ensure you do so through SLC.me by Friday, February 28, 2020. If you see this email after the deadline, you are still required to apply to graduate as soon as possible.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Convocation team at convocation@sl.on.ca.

Even if you have missed the "application for graduation" deadline, you still must apply in order to graduate. Please make sure to apply as soon as possible if you have missed the deadline.

If you are NOT attending Convocation, please note this important information:

• Credentials will be available in the Student Services office at your respective campus for one week after your designated ceremony:

All graduates are encouraged to apply for one of the most prestigious awards, the President's List. This award recognizes graduates who have rendered valuable and distinguished service to the college community and who have demonstrated the college’s core values of Students First, Teamwork, Innovation, Integrity and Belonging in their actions in and out of the classroom. Eligibility is based on academic excellence including graduating with distinction (3.5 GPA or higher) along with interest and activities involving leadership, citizenship and community service.

Recognizes ONE graduate, across the three campuses, who has achieved the highest grade point average in any diploma program in a reasonable time. In the event of a tie, the number of hours are considered. If the tie remains, % grades are considered and faculty recommendations may be requested.

Graduation with Merit recognizes superior educational performance and achievement by students receiving Statements of Achievement. To be eligible for such recognition, the student must have successfully completed an approved program of study and have achieved a grade point average of 3.50 of the required courses.

Students enrolled in an SLC diploma or degree program (this does not include Laurentian University degrees) who obtain a GPA of 3.50 or higher for an academic year (September-August) will be placed on the Dean’s List and will have this noted on their transcripts. To be eligible for the Dean’s List the following conditions must be met:

• Students must have registered full-time in a diploma or degree program for at least two academic terms during the academic year.
• The GPA for the entire academic year will be calculated on a weighted basis, shall include all courses studied and must be 3.50 or higher.

There are a number of program and academic school specific awards that are automatically selected and announced at Convocation. These awards do not require applications.
