Diplomas
Diplomas will be handed out on stage during each convocation ceremony.
Not attending your ceremony? Diplomas will be ready for pick up beginning June 22. Bring your photo ID to the Office of the Registrar. If you registered to have your diploma mailed, it will be sent within 1 week following convocation.
Did you know that UVic's diplomas have a new look? Introduced last fall, the parchment renewal project was spurred by feedback from graduating students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
