Students not on the Faculty Convocation list provided to Camp 6 will not be invited to attend the spring Iron Ring Ceremony and will not receive an Iron Ring.

If eligible graduating students are not able to attend their Spring Iron Ring Ceremony, they may apply to attend the next Practicing Engineer Iron Ring Ceremony, normally scheduled for June.  

Graduaint Student Iron Ring Ceremonies

U of A Engineering students completing their Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees who are eligible to be convocated are invited directly by the Camp to attend a ceremony to obtain their iron rings. 

Students approved to attend the November convocation ceremony will be invited to attend the November Practising member ceremonies hosted by Camp 6 on the University of Alberta campus.  Students approved to attend the March or June Convocation ceremonies will be invited to attend the Spring Camp 6 Iron Ring Ceremonies to be held at the Edmonton Convention Centre in March.  Any students unable to attend the ceremony they are invited are eligible to have their registration moved to the Camp 6 Practicing member ceremony hosted in June of each year.

Camp 6 will provide further details at ENGG400 classes to each convocation class.  

Graduating Engineering students do not apply to attend Iron Ring Ceremonies through this website as they are invited directly by Camp 6, after receiving the list of approved graduates from the Faculty.

Iron Ring Sizing

Eligible students will be sized for their Iron Rings immediately before their Ceremony.

Attire

Candidates are requested to wear business appropriate attire to Iron Ring Ceremonies, as they would for a job interview or Capstone presentation.

The Obligation Certificate

Students must pick up their Camp 6 Obligation Certificates as they leave their Ceremony.  If the Certificate isn't picked up, the graduating student won't be added to the Register, and they will not be eligible to wear the Iron Ring.  They will also not be able to replace a lost Iron Ring.

Additional Details

Candidates can expect to stand for a portion of the time allotted for their ring sizing and ceremony.  If an accommodation is needed, please notify Camp 6 in advance so that arrangements can be made.
