Photography during your convocation ceremony
Your graduation moment captured forever
During the convocation ceremony, there are two built-in opportunities to capture your photo. The first moment takes place before you cross the stage to meet the platform party. The second takes place as you come off the stage and before you head back to your seat.
Photo previews and order information will be sent automatically to each student's mailing address. An email will also be sent with unique login information to view and order these images online.

Selfie and family photo locations
University of Calgary sign next to the arch
What better way to showcase “you did it!” than to get a photo in your convocation gown next to the official entrance to campus.
Green spaces around the Olympic Oval and TFDL Quad
Looking for a shady spot under a tree for a family photo? There is a lot of green space around the Oval and in the TFDL Quad (bordered by Kinesiology, MacEwan Student Centre and Taylor Family Digital Library).
Kinesiology’s dinosaur
Take a moment to snap a fun photo with our dinosaur outside the entrance to Kinesiology. Rex would want you to do it!
Olympic Arch
Just outside Kinesiology, it provides the perfect frame for a group shot.
The Spire (aka the Paperclip)
Many families have taken photos outside of the Olympic Oval under this public art from the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Be sure to look out for the Alumni team table for photo props and to be welcomed into the UCalgary alumni community!
UCalgary Alumni Magazine photo booth
Head to the Raquet Centre in Kinesiology to be featured on your very own magazine cover, where UCalgary Alumni will help snap photos of you and your guests.
