Gown and Hood Return, Diploma Pick-up
Your gown and hood must be returned to the Black Box Theatre immediately following Convocation and no later than 4:30pm. Failure to do so may result in a late return charge. Your diploma will be available (provided your account has been paid in full) in the Black Box Theatre after you have returned your gown and hood.
If you want to take a picture in your gown with their diploma, you will need to leave 2 pieces of ID (one of them should have your picture on it) with the designated staff member who will be at the diploma table. You are free to take pictures on campus but please note that gowns need to be returned by no later than 4:30pm.
Framing
The STU Alumni Association will be offering a diploma framing service after Convocation in the JDH Cafeteria. If you wish to have your diploma framed at this time, we recommend ordering in advance. For those graduates who order and pay for their frames in advance, they will receive their framed diploma upon the return of their grad gown if ordered by Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 4 PM. Frames will still be available for purchase on graduation day; however, there may be a wait time based on demand. Pre-order and purchase your frame with cash, credit card or personal cheque in the Alumni Relations office (Room 413, McCain Hall) during regular business hours or email: alumni@stu.ca or phone: 506.452.0521. Proceeds from frame sales help support important alumni relations programming provided by the St. Thomas University Alumni Association.
