Black Graduation
Established in 2021, Black Graduation celebrates the hard work, contributions and achievements of Concordia’s Black graduates, while connecting them with a network of Black alumni and community members.
Note: Black Graduation does not replace the spring convocation. Consult Concordia's convocation page for details about the convocation ceremonies and remember to apply to graduate separately.
Register as a Black Graduate
Deadline: May 19, 2024
If you're a Black student who graduated in fall 2023 or will graduate by summer 2024, register as a Black graduate so we can celebrate you!
Upon registration, you'll be added to the Black graduation mailing list and get notified when tickets to the Black Graduation Celebration are available.
Please note: Registration alone does not secure your tickets to the graduation celebration – you’ll need to RSVP to the event.
