Framing Your Student’s Degree

As your student may be approaching the final stages of their academic career at the University of Waterloo there are many things that have to be done.

The intent to graduate form is among the most important of these things.

For Undergraduate Students who want attend Spring Convocation and are taking classes this winter your deadline is March 1.

For Undergraduate Students taking classes in the summer that want to attend the Fall Convocation the due date for your intent to graduate form is August 1. After this is done, students can check quest to find out when you intent to graduate has been accepted, if there are any outstanding fees and ensuring that all contact information is up-to-date. If you need any more information visit http://www.registrar.uwaterloo.ca/convocation/students.html.

Is your student wondering what to do with the fancy piece of paper? Wonder no more.

Come visit the Office of Alumni Affairs in South Campus Hall and purchase a University of Waterloo degree frame. Hanging their degree in your home or their place of work tells the world that your student is proud to be a University of Waterloo alumnus.

Frames are available in a variety of styles and prices; you can even pick up matching photo frames to show off a lovely graduation photo.

Check out https://alumni.uwaterloo.ca/alumni/secure/frames/index.html for pricing and delivery options.
