Special Notes
1. Due to limited seating at the Playhouse Theatre, graduates can invite a maximum of 4 guests only.
2. Parking is available in the Fredericton Convention Centre parking garage, 635 King Street, at $1.00 per hour. You may also park in meter parking spots on adjoining streets. Due to limited parking in the downtown area, carpooling is recommended.
3. Your gown and hood must be returned to the Black Box Theatre immediately following Convocation and no later than 4:30 pm. 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.
4. 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 Friday, June 30, 2023. 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.
