Next Steps for Grads

After the Potential Grad List has been published, find your name take the following steps to make sure your information is accurate and up-to-date:

Review Your Name and Personal Contact Information 

If you need to make changes to any of the following information, please contact convocation@cbu.ca as soon as possible.

• The name that will appear on your credential (degree, diploma, certificate) will be exactly the same as the name currently shown in your Compass Student Account. Please review to ensure your name is not missing any accents, hyphens or periods and does not need to be changed in any way.
• The contact information listed in your Compass Student Account will also be used for convocation-related material. Please review for accuracy.
• All graduating students will be included in the Spring Convocation Booklet, please notify us if you do not want your name published.

 Review and/or Update Your Address

• Please review your current address in the Compass Student Account. It is crucial to have the accurate address listed. Replacing a lost credential is a time-consuming and difficult process, so we want to make sure your parchment gets to the right place. If credentials need to be re-shipped due to an invalid or out of date address, the cost will have to be paid by the graduate.

Review Your Program Name

• Please ensure the program listed on the potential grad list is correct. If not, you may need to complete a program change form (i.e applying to graduate with honours) 

Financial Matters 

• Credentials will not be provided to students with an outstanding balance on their account. Before convocation, ensure you have paid all outstanding fees.
