==Canada== In Canada, the term is used by some older universities to refer to orientation ("[[frosh]]") events,{{Citation needed|date=May 2007}} however some universities, including [[University of King's College]], still hold formal Matriculation ceremonies. The ceremony at King's is quite similar to the matriculation ceremonies held in universities such as Oxford or Cambridge. [[University of Trinity College|Trinity College]] at the [[University of Toronto]] also holds formal matriculation ceremonies, during which time incoming students are required to sign a matriculation register, making the practice the closest in format to that conducted by [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]] colleges of any university in North America. "F!rosh Week" at the University of Toronto's [[University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering|Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering]] also begins with a distinct Matriculation ceremony held at the university's [[Convocation Hall (University of Toronto)|Convocation Hall]];<ref>{{Cite web |title=Matriculation β Skulepedia |url=https://skulepedia.ca/wiki/Matriculation |access-date=2022-10-25 |website=skulepedia.ca}}</ref> though, there is no matriculation register to be signed, and the event is held by the student-run University of Toronto Engineering Society (through their Orientation Committee) rather than officially by the faculty.<ref>{{Cite web |title=F!rosh Week β Skulepedia |url=https://skulepedia.ca/wiki/F!rosh_Week |access-date=2022-10-25 |website=skulepedia.ca}}</ref> It is also where first-year engineering students take the "Hardhat Oath," a modified version of the [[Rifleman's Creed]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Hardhat Oath β Skulepedia |url=https://skulepedia.ca/wiki/The_Hardhat_Oath |access-date=2022-10-25 |website=skulepedia.ca}}</ref> At [[McGill University]] in [[Montreal]], matriculation ceremonies have been substantially stripped down since the 1990s, although a speech by the Principal, typically held at [[Molson Stadium]], to the incoming class is still a ritualized annual tradition. In [[Ontario]] during the era with [[Ontario Academic Credit|grade 13]], satisfactory completion of grade 12 was considered junior matriculation and satisfactory completion of grade 13 was senior matriculation. In [[Nova Scotia]], at the present time, Junior matriculation is grade 11 and senior matriculation is completion of grade 12.
