All students in a credit program (degree, applied degree, diploma or certificate) must apply to graduate — whether or not you choose to attend your convocation ceremony.
What's the difference?
Graduation is your achievement, you've completed your program and you’re ready for that next step.
Convocation is the celebration, that moment you walk across the stage to receive your parchment, and we recognize your success.
Apply to graduate
How to register for graduation once you complete your program requirements.
Graduation photos
Secure your professional graduation portraits by booking your session now!
A non-refundable sitting fee is required to reserve your time slot. This fee covers the photographer's time, the use of SAIT's official regalia (cap and gown), and access to an online gallery of proofs where you can view all your images (we take 25-30 different poses).
Please note that the sitting fee covers the service only and does not include any final prints or digital files.
Everyone who books a photo appointment will receive one complimentary 4x6 print of their choice, absolutely free, with the only associated charge being shipping (about $4!).
After your session, you can choose to purchase additional images individually or select from various photo packages, with prices ranging from approximately $30 to $300. Don't miss this opportunity to capture your major achievement!
Please note the password for the booking website is SAITGRAD.
Graduation for apprentices
In your final period of technical training, and if you finished at least one additional period at SAIT, you can apply to receive a certificate of accomplishment.
Applying for the SAIT parchment will recognize your time at SAIT and allow you to attend the convocation ceremony.
Your journeyman certificate will be issued by Apprenticeship and Industry Training

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
