We can’t wait to celebrate! We are delighted that in 2024, we will be able to hold our Graduation Ceremony at a brilliant venue, with the awards being presented by our President, Directors, and other dignitaries.
The event will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Woodbine Banquet Hall, Etobicoke.
Graduation is a significant milestone for every student and is an opportunity for the College to recognize your accomplishments formally. We are excited for you to join us at this particular time with family and friends, who can watch from near and far to celebrate your achievements. Below, you will find further information about preparing for graduation, making reservations, ordering academic robes, and watching the ceremony live online.
Children over the age of two must have their own seat and must pay CAD 40 per ticket. An adult guest must accompany all children under 18, and it is your responsibility. It is impossible for children, no matter their age, to be seated with graduates, so please ensure they have a chaperone with them at all times.
Children or babies in arms under the age of two may enter free of charge but must sit on the lap of an accompanying adult guest.
The college reserves the right to ask any child or adult to leave the venue during the ceremony if they make unnecessary noise that disrupts proceedings or other guests.
Ensure your contact details are accurate with the college, including your email address and telephone/mobile details.
Graduation bookings are open. You will receive an invitation and direct booking link to the email address listed with the college.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that additional tickets will be available for every ceremony. Any extra tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that we cannot keep a waiting list for guest tickets or consider any exceptional circumstances (due to venue capacity). A graduating student can bring ONE complimentary adult as a guest to participate in the ceremony. Every Additional member will be charged CAD 40.00. Kids below two years old can attend for FREE. However, there is a restriction on bringing additional guests to the ceremony due to venue capacity.
Get a formal dress and confirm if any additional guests can attend. Reconfirm your attendance at the ceremony and let the office know if there are any changes to the plan.
The Ceremony will begin with the procession of the Platform Party and Academic Staff entering the Convocation Hall.
The ceremony will be opened, and the welcome speech and address will be made. If there are Honorary Awards, they will be presented at this time. The Head of the College will then take the stage to announce the graduation presentation.
When the presentations begin, students will be asked to move, row by row, to the marshaling area at the foot of the platform steps. The names of the students to be presented will be called individually. When directed, they should mount the platform and shake hands with the Beta College representative and the Guest of Honour. Any prizes awarded to individual students will be announced at the same time the award is announced, and the prize will be presented on stage.
After receiving, students should proceed across the platform, down the steps, around the procession, and back to their original seats.
The Guest of Honour will then make a speech, followed by a Vote of Thanks from a Program Coordinator. There will then be a closing speech, and the processions will leave the Convocation Hall, followed by the new Graduates.
The Gala Graduation Dinner will then be served in the designated area for all guests invited.
