It has come to our attention that the time indicated on your UVic Recognition Ceremony tickets are incorrect and say 3:00pm, rather than the correct time of 4:00pm. UVic will be emailing out revised tickets to your student accounts so please be sure to use these instead to avoid any confusion. It is important to note that students are still needed to be at UVic at 3:00pm for photos, and the ceremony starts at 4:00pm sharp.
Grads, your final rehearsal is on June 10th at lunch in the large gym! Attendance is mandatory for this rehearsal!
Attention Grads: Tickets for the recognition ceremony at UVic were emailed to the graduating student's school email address on Friday, May 23rd. If you did not receive your tickets, please note that there are still some students who are missing a requirement and need to see Mrs. Pryer in the office right away.
Extra Tickets for the Grad Recognition Ceremony are on sale through the UVic Ticket Centre. Please call: 250-721-8480; open Monday - Friday, 9:30am till 4pm. Extra tickets are $10 each. 4 extra ticket limit per student (more may become available soon - stay tuned).
