I am a student at Durham College and I finished my last semester around mid April 2026. I did not recieve any emails from the college telling me that i needed to apply in order to be able to graduate and attend convocation. I was living under a rock and thought they automaticaly process it or at least send me an email if there is something to be done, thus I missed the deadline. Is there is still a way to get around this and attend the ceremony. There is still a month left. I was looking forward to this for so long and dont want to miss it😭😭

Hello,

I don’t usually post to public forums due to past issues but I am desperate for answers right now.

Apologies for any grammatical errors but I am severely stressed right now.

Due to some issues with my health during my most recently completed semester I have a GPA that puts me under the one required for the program. (2.9, I am not proud of it by due to circumstance it is what I have)

Everyone I have spoken to thus far has been pressing me to discuss things with my student advisor which I have tried to do on four separate occasions, once by email(4 weeks now with no response), once by going into the office(wasn’t on campus and told rarely is), and booked a meeting with them twice now and both of those meetings have been cancelled without giving me a reason as to why and told to wait for them to email me on when to reschedule it for.

The stress of not knowing what will happen now with my studies is really hurting my mental and I am at my wits end with people just telling me to talk to my advisor because that has resulted in more issues then answers.

Am I stuck just waiting for my advisor to contact me at some point in the future and dealing with the stress? Or is there something else that I can do to try and ensure I can continue my studies.

Thank you for any help that can be provided in what i should do going forward!
