June 8 - 11 2026, All day
It's the biggest event of the year at VIU!
The VIU community is celebrating the success of this year’s graduating students at four convocation ceremonies on June 8 and 9 and Semélshun Indigenous Graduation Recognition Ceremony on June 11. During convocation week, you’ll see lots of caps and gowns around campus. Many employees are assisting with the ceremonies, so services may be more limited than usual during convocation week.
Follow along by watching the livestream on VIU's YouTube channel.
The cafeteria will also be closed on June 8 and 9 for the post-ceremony alumni celebrations.
