Since graduation and convocation are significant and memorable events in a student's academic life, memorabilia commemorates this special event. Below you will find information on the various memorabilia available.
Graduation portrait photography is a wonderful memento for graduates and their families.
Graduation portrait photography takes place during your last term before graduating. Portrait sittings are provided through different suppliers based on Faculty and college. Look below for your Faculty/college and corresponding information.

At each ceremony a professional photographer will photograph each graduate before they cross the stage. Each graduate will also have a portrait style photo taken as they exit the stage. Since professional photographs will be taken of each graduate, we encourage family and friends to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony.
Complimentary proofs of these photographs will be e-mailed to each graduand following the convocation ceremonies. There is no obligation to purchase.
If you have any questions about ceremonial photographs, please contact the photographer at https://lifetouch.ca or by e-mail at https://contact.lifetouch.ca or by phone at 1-866-457-8212.
Graduation bouquets will be sold during the convocation ceremonies by Toronto-area florist, Convocation Flowers. To order flowers prior to the ceremony, click here.
