Yes. You must register to attend your convocation ceremony by March 14. Please check your student email for more information and to register.

Each registered graduate will also receive here 3 guests’ tickets. See below for more details.

Graduates registered to attend convocation may have 3 guests. Upon arrival to the ceremony, your guests can go directly to the auditorium any time before the graduation ceremony starts to sit down.

You have already paid a graduation fee, so your costs are covered. There will be no additional costs other than if you would like to have your photos taken.  There are no out-of-pocket costs for graduating students to participate in the ceremony or the reception that follows.

When you register to attend the graduation, you will be asked to provide your gown requirements. Please note that you need to complete this request by March 14 so that orders with an outside company can be placed to arrive on time. Please check your student email for more information and to register.

Yes, you are invited to attend the graduation rehearsal on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Please meet outside the Charlewood Auditorium at 4:30 pm. The rehearsal will take about 30 minutes.  Attending this will help you know what to do on the day of grad.

Capture your success with a graduation portrait!

Penny Fournel of Photohouse by Penny will be on site the morning of Friday, May 30, 2025 for students who wish to book professional portraits.

Space is limited. Ten minute mini sessions are available on a first-come, first serve basis and must be booked in advance.

Sessions are $110 and include edited, full-resolution, printable digital images. Arrangements for payment can be made directly with Penny Fournel the day of graduation.

To reserve your timeslot, please contact Trish Adair, Graduation Coordinator for Kirkland Lake at adairp@northern.on.ca.

Graduates are encouraged to invite loved ones to join in on the fun!

You can keep only the graduation cap – it’s on us!

Your gown and stole must be returned to the NCSA Student Lounge after the graduation ceremony and reception as they are rented.

If you are graduating, your transcript and diploma will be ready for pick up where you return your graduation gown in the NCSA Student Lounge after the ceremony has ended.

Please note that if you have an outstanding balance owed to the College on your student account, however, you will need to pay this before getting your diploma.

We are sorry you can’t be with us! We will miss you. The alumni relations department of the College will complete the sorting and mailing of all diplomas and transcripts that were not handed out about two weeks after the graduation ceremony. If you have no outstanding balance on your student account, we will send yours to you automatically.

We mail your documents through Canada Post to the last mailing address on file with us, and we only send it out to you once. If your documents are returned because you have moved, we will not be able to pay for postage a second time so you will need to arrange for this if you haven’t officially changed the address you have on file with us. Check your address on your student portal to be sure you get this very important achievement sent to you!

Please reach out to Trish Adair at NCgraduation@northern.on.ca or 705-567-9291 ext. 3681 to coordinate any accommodation needs.  We have accessible parking in several locations, accessible bathrooms for people needing assistance. Please note all parking is free on the campus.
