Preparing to graduate? When it's time to celebrate your academic achievements, the information below should provide you with everything you need to know about applying for and preparing for graduation. See the Graduation requirements, Graduation events and the Graduation fees below.
Students intending to receive any degree, diploma or certificate will need to fill out the Graduation Application form prior to the deadline for their desired conferral date.
Graduation applications submitted after the application deadline cannot be considered for graduation at that conferral.
Please take note of the following graduation fees and which apply to you. All grad fees are billed once the Registrar's Office has done their initial review of your record and determined that you are on track to graduate on your desired conferral date. If the Registrar's Office finds that you have any outstanding requirements, they will inform you and will not bill you the grad fees (you would then need to re-apply for graduation once the requirements are met).
*Students who apply to graduate with a Bachelor or Master's degree AND a certificate pay $150 in graduation fees.
** Fee subject to change based on supplier.
Students who have applied for graduation but wish to withdraw must inform the Registrar's Office at registrar@prov.ca or 204-433-7488.
Students who need a degree parchment reprinted must fill out a Degree Parchment Release Form. Additional charges apply for express post or courier fees.
Degrees are granted to students who have satisfactorily completed a particular program of study as set forth in the Academic Catalogue and who have met all their financial obligations to the school.
Any courses and/or outstanding Field Service (UC only) requirements that are in progress with an end date after your graduation date must be completed by the following April 30th for Fall Conferral Graduates and August 31st for Winter Conferral Graduates. If requirements are not met in that timeframe, you will need to reapply for graduation once they are met (graduation fees will not be refunded, and you will need to pay them again when you re-apply).
Seminary Graduation Requirements
Applicants for graduation are considered by the Faculty Senate which recommends them to the Board of Governors based on scholastic achievement. Students with a 3.75 cumulative GPA are recommended to graduate with honours. The Faculty Senate recognizes that particular ministries require certain gifts, character traits and levels of maturity beyond what can be gained in a short time at Seminary. Therefore, the Senate’s recommendation to the Board implies only that the student has adequately fulfilled course requirements in terms of skills and knowledge, not that they are now qualified for a particular ministry. Members of the Faculty are available to give ministry references for individual students. Applications for graduation submitted after the February board meeting cannot be considered for graduation in that year. Attendance at the commencement ceremony is required of all graduates unless application is made and special permission is granted to graduate in absentia.
University College Graduation Requirements

The graduation class is approved by the Board of Governors upon the recommendation of the Senate. In the programs of study at Providence certain requirements are made of each prospective graduate. They are as follows:
