Alumni Photo Stations

Get your photo taken at an Alumni Photo Station on campus and at Canada Life Place on your convocation day!

Photo stations feature instant download photos taken by professional photographers with Western backdrops – all completely complimentary. Grab your fellow grads, your family, your friends (or maybe that prof from first year Chem class) and strike your favourite pose!

Locations of these photo stations will be shared in the weeks leading up to convocation.

More Photo Opportunities

Visit Lifetouch Photography in the UCC basement on campus anytime throughout the academic year to take grad photos. Make sure to book your appointment ahead of time online.

These photos are organized by the University Students’ Council (USC), not the Convocation Team. For questions, reach out to the USC team.
Some faculties at Western offer faculty composite photos (a document with photos of the entire graduating class). Reach out to your faculty’s academic advising office to ask if this is something they offer.

Questions about faculty composites must be directed to your home faculty; this service is not organized by the Convocation Team.

Photography and video recording will take place during convocation ceremonies. By attending, graduates and guests acknowledge that they may be photographed or recorded, and that these images may be used by the University for promotional, marketing, and communications purposes, in print and digital media.
