Frequently Asked Questions

Tickets for the Black Excellence Graduate Celebration are complimentary for all attendees.

Each graduand may bring up to two guests into the main concert hall.

We know celebration within the Black community is deeply communal, and many of our students hope to celebrate with a larger circle of family, loved ones, and supporters. We honour that. At the same time, because seating in the main hall is limited, we can only guarantee main-hall seating for each graduand and two guests.

Additional guests are still welcome to attend and celebrate with us in our overflow viewing and designated guest spaces, where they can share in this important moment.

Our goal is to create a celebration that is joyful, organized, and worthy of our graduates, while making space for as many loved ones as possible. We appreciate your understanding as we work to honour both the significance of this occasion and the realities of the venue.

We encourage attendees to wear formal or traditional attire that reflects their personal or cultural heritage. Graduates will not be wearing robes β€” this is your moment to show off your outfit, represent your identity, and celebrate your achievements in a way that is uniquely you. You will still have the opportunity to wear formal academic regalia at your official convocation ceremony.

No. The Black Excellence Graduation Celebration is a unique event, separate from McMaster University’s official convocation ceremonies. While convocation is the formal conferral of degrees, this celebration is a special opportunity to honour the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black graduates in our community, reflecting our shared culture and joy.

We encourage all graduating students to attend their official convocation ceremony, where you are welcome to proudly wear your Kente stole as a symbol of your accomplishment and heritage.

Yes, accessible seating arrangements will be provided. If you require any accommodations or have specific accessibility needs, please contact us at bss@mcmaster.ca so we can ensure your participation is comfortable.
