| Tickets |
| Graduands do not need tickets to gain entry, however, all guests attending the Convocation Ceremony must present their tickets in order to enter the auditorium. All tickets will be distributed to your NOSM University email account through Eventbrite closer to the date of your ceremony. Guests may present their tickets on a device though we highly encourage your supporters to print off the tickets before arriving at the auditorium. |
| Selecting a Hooder (UME Graduates) |
| Graduating MD learners, you have the opportunity to request a specific individual, typically a faculty member, to hood you on stage at your respective convocation ceremony. If you do not choose a faculty member to act as your hooder, you will be hooded by a designated hooder when it is your time to cross the stage. To indicate if you would like to have a specific hooder for your convocation ceremony, please fill out the form below and return it to the Convocation Team at convocation@nosm.ca once it has been completed. The deadline to complete and submit this form is Friday, February 5, 2027. |
