Grad card?
I heard last year that there was a Grad Card you had to fill out if you're graduating. I checked my faculty's website and I didn't see anything. I asked around and I was told "It gets emailed to you", but I haven't received anything and I'm not sure if I missed something important.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The grad card isn't up yet. They are slowly updating the site but the links don't work.
"The Online Graduation Information Form For Spring 2010 Convocation is not yet available.
If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar's Office at 905-525-4600.
Please visit us again later in the month of January 2010, to fill out the Online Graduation Information Form for Spring 2010 Convocation."

20-1 that means Jan 29th.
And we'll post in on MI. We have the previous two years, and I can't see why we wouldn't this year...especially with me graduating and all.

Thanks nh999. 
It sucks though, because it says you can only submit your grad card once, but you need to have your credit card ready (I assume to buy tickets?). But there's no where that says how much tickets cost, so you can't decide how many you want to buy until you're in the middle of filling out the form. :/ |

It's to pay for your diploma; there are three different fees. One if you're going to commencement, one if you want it mailed to you, and one if you want pickup.
Although they may charge for tickets this year...previously they never did. And you only get TWO.

I filled out a card last night, and it didn't ask me anywhere which of the 3 options I wanted to take. Nor did it ask me for money... what did I do wrong?

There are two forms that must be filled out. There is the graduate information card which I assumed you filled out. This one I assume is for what should be printed on your diploma and declaring your minor. There is also the Graduation response form that also has to be filled out which states to have your credit card ready. This is to declare whether you are attending convocation or not as well as ordering your tickets. Therefore, you didn't do anything wrong, just filled out the other form.
