convocation
How does it work? Do they announce Dean's honor list/graduation with distinction?

Yup, it's like that.

You're on the stage with another person. And there is no cap...thats a Master's thing.

Arranged in alpha order. Your name is called, your program announced, and if you're on the Dean's Honour List (same with the other person). The two of you kneel on a stool thingy in front of the Chancellor, your sash is put on you, that's it.

I had originally planned on going (even ordered 2 tickets) but something has come up and I will be unable to attend. I already received the 2 tickets in the mail. Is there anyway of canceling?

The best thing to do is to call the Registrar's Office when it opens on Monday and tell them.

There are also tons of people looking for tickets -- Humanities and Sci from what I've seen on Facebook...post it in your status and see if you can give yours away to someone who couldn't get the amount they requested?
