On my degree audit it says "all course requirements satisfied". Does this mean I have graduated? What is the next step I need to take?

no, that means you don't need any more courses to fulfill your degree requirements and you will be graduating at the end of the school year.

You don't graduate until the day of your convocation (whether you attend or not). On the registrar's website there's a "graduand information centre" that is made available a certain number of months prior to the fall and spring convocations. You have to fill that out to inform the registrar of your intent to graduate, and that's it.

Although apparently they force you to graduate at the next ceremony as soon as you have all the requirements anyways, it's better to just fill out the online form anyways

This thread just reminded me of something I was always unsure about. Since convocation is in the spring, if one were to have finished school in December (as in all courses finished in December and not needed to return for the winter semester), would you guys put December or the following spring on your resume for the time attended at school/graduation date?

I'd put the graduation date. That's when you officially get your degree and finish at the school. I don't know if there's something you're *supposed* to do though.

My instinct always thought the same thing but there's a few people who've told me otherwise. Oh well, that can work in my favor in a way I guess.
