"Let the Deed Shaw"

In present day parlance, it means "Let the Deed Show" but nonetheless, the motto on the Fleming family crest remains true. Our College namesake, Sandford Fleming, arrived in Peterborough in 1845 at age 18. By applying his talents and knowledge, he helped shape this country and the world. His accomplishments include design of the first map of Peterborough and Canada's first postage stamp. A surveyor and planner of Canada's first railway, he also introduced Standard Time to the world.

Convocation is the most important event in the College year. It is a special time for our Board of Governors, our staff, and most importantly for our graduates, their family and friends.

About the Convocation Ceremony

How many guests can I bring? Do they need invitations?

We allow seating for four guests per graduate. We would like you to share this day with family and friends. (Haliburton Graduates please RSVP as indicated in your package.) Invitations are not necessary for the event.

What time should I arrive and where do I go?

You are expected to be at the Convocation site one hour prior to the ceremony in order to pick up your gown and get ready for the Processional. There will be signs indicating where you will line up under the direction of your Program Co-ordinator. Check invitation mailed to you or check the website for program ceremony time and date.

When you get the site, go to the graduate gowning area to obtain your gown and receive further instructions.

Please Note: the gowning area is not secured and we cannot guarantee the safety of personal belongings left there. We advise you do not bring purses and valuables but make arrangements for your articles to be left with your guests during the ceremony.

How long will the ceremony last?

The ceremony will start on time, and is expected to take approximately 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Protocol requires that graduates remain in their seats for the duration of the ceremony. Please respect your classmates who are waiting their turn to graduate.

What should I wear?

Business attire is recommended. For practical reasons, corsages should not be worn until after the ceremony and purses and flowers should be left with family or friends.

Academic Regalia

Black graduate gowns are provided to each graduate. There is no charge for the use of the gown, however they must be returned immediately following the ceremony. Gowns are available at the reception for additional photos. A refundable deposit will be required.

Diploma Frames and Graduation Gifts

The Fleming Bookstore offers a variety of gift ideas for graduates and full gift wrapping. Diploma frames, class rings, crested college apparel and gifts, graduation cards, rose bouquets, and crested desk accessories.

Bookstore staff will be available before and after the graduation ceremonies to help you select the perfect gift for your graduate.

Graduation Collars

Each graduate will receive a Graduation Collar during the Convocation ceremony. The colour of the collar represents the level of the Diploma/Certificate being awarded. The gold collar represents the post-diploma certificate programs; the three stripe gold and green collar represents the three year diploma programs; the two stripe gold and green collar represents the two year diploma programs and the green collar represents certificate programs of less than two years in duration.

Graduate Portraits

Are arranged by the Student Governments at Frost and Sutherland Campuses. If you missed those dates, there are gowns and collars available in the Registrar's Office for students who arrange their own graduate portraits. There is a $50.00 refundable deposit for gowns and $20.00 for collars.

Haliburton Campus reception will be held at the campus in the Great Hall. Frost Campus reception will be held in Auk's Lodge. All Sutherland Campus receptions will be held in the Kawartha Trades and Technology Centre (KTTC) of the Brealey Building of Sutherland Campus.
