Algonquin College 2025 Convocation

2025 Spring Convocation

Algonquin College has made a decision to host Convocation Ceremonies annually, meaning all graduates will be celebrated each Spring. In an effort to maintain a high-quality graduation experience for the growing number of Algonquin College graduates and convocation participants, all students, including AC Online learners graduating after June 2024 will be invited to attend Convocation in June 2025.

Algonquin College’s Spring 2025 Convocation ceremonies will take place June 17th – 20th, 2025 at the Canadian Tire Centre (1000 Palladium Drive, Kanata, ON).
