Graduation Photos - Faculty of Arts
Photographs can be arranged through Lifetouch Photography. Sign up on-line for a photo session.
Note information provided by the Registrar's Office regarding photographs taken during the convocation ceremony.
Comments from the Psychology Advisor (per Lifetouch Photography) regarding class pictures:
If your last school term is Fall 2011, Winter 2012, or Spring 2012 and you will be graduating in 2012, your photo must be taken no later than April 13, 2012 if you want your photo to appear on the Psychology BA class picture for 2012. Lifetouch Photography will hand out class pictures at the Student Life Centre before and after the convocation ceremony. If you will not be attending convocation, please contact their office directly to make arrangements for your class photo to be mailed or picked up.
Graduation Photos - Faculty of Science
Photographs can be arranged through New School Photography. Sign up on-line for a photo session. Book your appointment early because the number of photo sessions is limited! Ask the photographer or at the Science Society Office regarding the deadline for photos to appear on the class composite.
About class composites (i.e., the group photo):
Unfortunately there will be no combined BA/BSc Psychology class composite. Ask the photographer which Faculty of Science class composite your photo will appear on.
Those in the Science Faculty who have their photos taken by Lifetouch Photography (see 'Graduation Photos - Faculty of Arts' above) instead of New School Photography will be able to obtain their individual photographs but their photo will not appear on the Psychology BA class composite or on the appropriate Science Faculty class composite.
For those who had graduation photos taken by New School Photography, please ask the photographer or at the Science Society Office how and when you will be receiving your class composite.
Note information provided by the Registrar's Office regarding photographs taken during the convocation ceremony.
