What time should I arrive at the Arts and Culture Centre?  

Graduates and their guests should arrive one hour prior to the ceremony. 

What should I bring to Convocation?  

Graduates should minimize bringing personal belongings to Convocation. Backpacks or other large bags or items will not be permitted in the auditorium and therefore should be left at home. There will be no coat check service but coat racks will be available to graduates to hang their outerwear; guests can take their coats to their seats. Memorial University and the Arts & Culture Centre cannot be responsible for securing personal items. 

What entrance to the Arts and Culture Centre should be used?  

Graduates must enter the Arts and Culture Centre from the North Accessible Entrance (facing Prince Philip Drive). Guests are required to enter via the main theatre doors (under the archway). Your guests will need to present tickets for admission to the theatre. 

Where can I park to attend Convocation?  

If all the parking spaces at the Arts and Culture Centre are full, the Office of the Chief Risk Officer is providing free parking in all pay-per-use and permit areas on the St. John’s campus. Please respect blue zones, fire lanes and no parking areas. In particular, we recommend Parking Lot 15 (campus parking map). 

Will Convocation be live-streamed for guests who cannot attend in person?  

The Convocation ceremonies will be live-streamed so family and friends may view the ceremonies from the comfort of their home. Fifteen minutes prior to the start of each ceremony, a livestream link will be available on the Memorial home page.
