Graduation hoods

As part of the 2021 Convocation celebrations, Athabasca University will provide graduands with a convocation box via the mail. The boxes will be mailed out in mid-May before convocation on June 11, 2021. The box will include the graduation hood, cap and tassel, and other celebratory goodies. Gowns will not be included, but most photography places will have a standard black graduation gown for formal portraits. If you wish to purchase your own gown, you can from our supplier Gaspards https://www.gaspard.ca or wear your convocation hood over a plain black shirt or suit.

There are no hoods for diploma or certificate grads. A plain black standard graduation gown with a cap and tassel will be the official regalia.

If you wish to purchase Athabasca University Doctoral Regalia, are a graduate from before October 2020, or have a special circumstance, please email convocation@athabascau.ca.

Graduation portraits

If you are located in the Edmonton, Alberta area, Athabasca University has teamed up with New Light photography for graduation 2021 photos. New Light will have your appropriate Athabasca University regalia available for use for photos. Please visit their website.

AU Convocation team is looking at options for our graduands outside the Edmonton area. We will provide additional information once confirmed.
