Graduate Checklist
No action is needed right now, but students will need to start preparing in winter term for the spring 2027 ceremony. The updated Graduate Checklist will be published later this year.
UO Commencement is a Substance-Free Event
To ensure a positive experience for graduates, their guests, and the university community, UO commencement is a substance-free event except for formal receptions, where alcohol may be served in OLCC-regulated locations. This includes all activities, and applies to indoor and outdoor venues, including the main University Commencement Ceremony in Autzen Stadium and individual school and college ceremonies.
Students found in possession of prohibited substances could be subject to sanctions including, but not limited to, confiscation of the substance(s), being denied access to commencement activities, or notification to law enforcement regarding illegal substances.
