Graduating Engineering Students

Eligibility

Students who are eligible to be convocated from the University of Alberta with a B.Sc. in Engineering in the Fall and Winter terms each year are invited to be obligated at the Camp 6 Spring Iron Ring Ceremony held near the end of the Winter term.  

Registration

1. Students in their final term must apply to the U of A Faculty of Engineering to graduate, prior to the Faculty application deadline.

2. Students must be on the Faculty convocation list to be eligible for the Camp 6 spring Iron Ring Ceremony.  This list and student ualberta.ca emails are shared with Camp 6.

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, scheduled for June 14, 2025.  

Spring 2026 Iron Ring Ceremonies

U of A Engineering students completing their degrees in the 2025-26 Fall & Winter Terms who are eligible to be convocated in November 2025 or June 2026 will be invited to attend the spring 2026 Camp 6 Iron Ring Ceremonies.  Details will be announced later.  Tentatively, there will be three Iron Ring Ceremonies as held in 2025, each proceeded by Iron Ring sizing in an adjacent room.  There will be room at the venue for students to invite guests to observe this special occasion.  

Camp 6 provided further details at ENGG400 in February, 2026.  

Graduating Engineering students do not apply to attend Iron Ring Ceremonies through this website as they are invited directly by Camp 6.

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.
