6.14 Graduation
Memorial University of Newfoundland awards undergraduate and graduate degrees, diplomas, and certificates three times per year. Normally, this takes place at regular convocation ceremonies that are held each Spring and Fall to celebrate those graduands who completed programs by the end of the preceding Winter and Spring semesters, respectively. An in-absentia graduation occurs each Winter to award degrees, diplomas, and certificates to those graduands who completed programs by the end of the preceding Fall semester.
Students who are fulfilling, or have fulfilled, all academic requirements for their programs are strongly encouraged to apply to graduate by the deadline date noted on the Office of the Registrar website at www.mun.ca/regoff/graduation. The "Application to Graduate" is available within Memorial Self Service which can be accessed at selfservice.mun.ca. Additional information is available from the Office of the Registrar at www.mun.ca/regoff/graduation. Information regarding convocations, including the dates of the ceremonies, is available at www.mun.ca/convocation.

6.14.1 Application to Graduate - Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates
Students in their graduating year must apply to the Registrar to be admitted to a degree or to be awarded a diploma or certificate. Application must be made through the Student Self-Service at https://selfservice.mun.ca. The deadlines for application submission are July 15 for Fall (October) graduation, January 3 for Winter (February) in-absentia graduation, and January 15 for Spring (May) graduation. Applications received after these dates will be processed as time and resources permit.
No student can be awarded a degree, diploma or certificate unless and until an average of at least 2 points has been obtained on the total number of credit hours required for such degree, diploma or certificate. The degree of Doctor of Medicine and the degree of Bachelor of Education (Primary/Elementary) as a Second Degree Conjoint with Certificate in STEM Education are not included in this requirement since all courses comprising each degree are graded on a PAS or FAL basis.

It is the duty of the Registrar to certify to the Senate, where appropriate, that students for degrees, diplomas and certificates have met all the regulations and requirements of the University.
