Attention all Innis College Graduates!!!

Hello Innis graduands,

This week has a couple of important things happening on 17 March:

  1. DEADLINE TO CHANGE YOUR NAME – If your name on ROSI is not the name you want to appear on your diploma, the deadline to change your name with our office is Thursday 17 March, before we close our office. The Office of Convocation is *extremely* strict about this, so if this applies to you, do not delay – get in touch with us right now.
  1. OSAP REPAYMENT WORKSHOPS – For any students who have taken OSAP and would like a primer on what to expect in terms of repayment after graduation, there’s a couple of sessions this week happening  back to back:
    1. Thursday 17 March, 12 to 1 PM &
    2. Thursday 17 March, 1 to 2 PM

Both in the Galbraith Building, room 244 (35 St. George St., just north of College)

Let me know if you have any questions! And don’t forget to keep an eye on www.convocation.utoronto.ca to get information on the actual ceremony in June.

15 February 2011

Hello all,

This message is aimed specifically at students intending to graduate this coming June 2011 from Commerce (BCom).

The Faculty and the Office of Convocation assumes that you will be participating in the ceremony for Commerce students on 10 June 2011. IF you wish to participate instead with the Convocation for Innis College (14 June), you MUST fill in a form and return it to our office by 25 February so I can change you to the Innis Convocation ceremony.

Unfortunately you cannot participate in both ceremonies: you have to either stick with the Commerce ceremony or choose to switch to the Innis ceremony.

The form should have been emailed to you in a similar announcement from the Faculty, but you can always drop by our office to fill in such a form if you have lost that email. Or, contact our office directly!

Tom

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO CHANGE/CORRECT YOUR NAME FOR JUNE GRADUATION
Good news following up on the email from last week. The deadline to change or correct your name before June 2011 Graduation (for the diploma/convocation programme) is now 17 March 2011.

This means that if you have overall changes to make to your name, you can do so at the Registrar’s Office up to that date. Just remember to bring your photo ID so we know that the real you is changing your name!

If you wish to make a change that cannot be represented on ROSI, like changing or adding accents to your name, there is a form you fill out and must return to the Office of Convocation by the same date, 17 March. That form and instructions are found here.
