Graduation and convocation

If you’re on track to finish your program and graduate with your credential, then congratulations — we’re proud of you. 

In order to graduate, you’ll need to complete our Application for Credential form and submit it to Student Services, either in-person or by emailing forms@nic.bc.ca.

Attending your convocation ceremony

Graduating is a big achievement — but convocation is about celebrating all your hard work. It’s also a chance to dress up, grab your grad cap and regalia and enjoy a day of photos, applause and hugs with your supporters.

All graduates are eligible to apply for the following awards through myNIC. If you have questions, get in touch with us at registrar@nic.bc.ca
