Audience seating

More information coming soon regarding guest seating!

Graduands will have assigned seats in the graduand section of Convocation Mall, and will not be seated with their guests.

Things to know

Guests will be seated outdoors, under the covered part of Convocation Mall, behind the graduand seats.

We stronly encourage you to dress appropriately for the weather. If it is cool, wear layers and consider bringing a blanket. If it's warm, please bring a water bottle. A water station can be found outside the Maggie Benston Centre.

Blankets, water bottles and other convocation related giftware items are for sale on-site at the SFU Spirit Shop found in the Diamond Family Auditorium.

Due to limited space and to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all, this year we have implemented a restriction on bags in the celebration area. Please read our FAQs to learn more about our bag policy and to better understand if you can bring strollers, pets and large balloon bouquets into Convocation Mall.
