Gown Rental and RSVP

Lifetouch is the photography provider for MITT’s convocation. Graduates have the opportunity to have graduation portraits taken on site and purchase a photo of themselves crossing the stage. 

On the day of convocation, if you want photos, you will need to provide your contact information and mailing information to Lifetouch using the QR code they will have on site. The QR code will be located at the Lifetouch tables in the lobby and gowning area. 

If you already know what you want for photos, you can provide your contact information ahead of time along with what you plan to purchase by using the QR code below. 

At convocation, connect with a Lifetouch representative at one of the tables to confirm your order and make your payment. 

You must complete the payment the day of convocation for your order to proceed.

Portraits

Lifetouch will set up a portrait studio in the gowning area at convocation and will take graduation photos on request. Please arrive early if you want to have your photo taken. The wait can be long, and Lifetouch stops taking photos 30 minutes before the ceremony starts. 

You will be responsible for providing your contact information, mailing address, and a $15 sitting fee at convocation. Lifetouch accepts cash, debit, or credit cards on site.

Four images will be taken, and proofs will be mailed directly to the address you provided. Proofs will be mailed out the first week of July though Canada Post. You will purchase photos directly from Lifetouch and you have one year to place your order. If you have any questions about your portrait, please contact Lifetouch at 1-866-457-8212. 

Crossing the Stage Photo 

Every graduate crossing the stage will have their photo taken. You have the opportunity to purchase this photo if you choose. To purchase this photo, please visit the Lifetouch table located in the lobby. 

These photos can only be purchased the day of convocation, and Lifetouch will not accept orders after June 13. Lifetouch accepts cash, debit, or credit cards on site. 

There are two options for crossing the stage photos: 

• $20 digital print emailed to the email address you provide. 

• $40 for four 5x7 prints. These will be mailed to the address you provide. 

There are no proofs for crossing the stage photos. 

An integral part of convocation is recognizing graduates who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in both theoretical and practical skills during their studies. For more information, visit our MITT Graduate Awards webpage.
