*A proof is a print of a photo, usually clearly marked with the name of the photographer or studio. Its purpose is to show you the photograph. They can also be bought, or you can order prints in other sizes. Please note that the words proof and sample are used interchangeably for the purposes of this site and the ceremony RSVP form.
Flowers
Bouquets of all sizes and colours are available for Convocation. It is highly recommended to pre-order your bouquet to avoid disappointment. Please go to Convocation Flowers to place your advance order. Limited quantities of bouquets will also be available for purchase on site during the ceremonies outside Convocation Hall.
Look for the flower booth to collect pre-ordered bouquets or to make an on-site purchase (cash, debit, or credit card accepted).
Flowers are not worn or carried in the Procession or in Convocation Hall by members of the graduating classes. They may be presented to the graduate after the ceremony. We regret that the University has no facilities for receiving flower deliveries.
