History Of Graduation

Traditions
The word 'commencement' means to begin or start. Our ceremonies celebrate not only the completion of a degree, but also the beginning of a new chapter for our graduates.

Academic attire
Canadian universities typically follow the British historical model of academic dress. Graduates wear the traditional 'cap and gown' attire to their graduation ceremony, with a hood of colour and style corresponding to the academic degree earned. Ambrose adopts the North American Intercollegiate Code for Bachelors', Masters' and Doctors' attire. The academic hood is a decorative garment worn over the gown by graduates of English speaking universities around the world. It signifies admission into a community of scholars and recognizes the graduating student's academic success.

The hood colour corresponds with a specific faculty or discipline:

Bachelor of Arts – white
Bachelor of Business Administration – drab (light brown)
Bachelor of Music – pink
Bachelor of Science – gold
Bachelor of Theology – scarlet
Bachelor of Education - blue
Masters (seminary) - scarlet
