King’s is committed to finding a meaningful way to mark Encaenia 2021. As you know, President Lahey is committed to an in-person event in the future. In the current circumstances, we do not yet know when or what form that will take. We will let you know when we have further information and we thank you for your patience. Meanwhile, and with your help, a celebration is being planned for May 27.
King’s and Dalhousie will ensure that all students who meet the graduation eligibility criteria are awarded their degree/credential(s) when Dalhousie Senate and King’s Convocation meet in May to confer degrees. Dalhousie and King’s joint degrees will be conferred on the Dalhousie Senate date of May 18, 2021. King’s undergraduate journalism degrees will be conferred by King’s Convocation on May 25, 2021. We will celebrate your achievements together on May 27.
Final graduation eligibility checks will be completed at the beginning of May.
