Important protocol changes for certificates For this spring's convocation season, certificates will be administered (monitored and printed) through the Registrar’s Office rather than through the Dean’s Office. If this is relevant to your role as certificate coordinator within a department, you should have received a detailed email from Sandra Walde on Friday, December 2 outlining the changes. If you have no received that email, please contact Sandra.Walde@dal.ca.
