The Lundquist College of Business graduate commencement ceremonies are held separately from the main University of Oregon commencement ceremony that takes place at Autzen stadium. Students are invited to participate in both their program ceremony and the main UO ceremony. All ceremonies this year are being held in-person.

Stay tuned for specific day of ceremony instructions. Graduates should plan to block out their morning from 8:30 a.m. until the commencement ceremony begins at 10:00 a.m. for photography and rehearsal.
 

Step Seven: Receive Your Diploma

The dean will hand you an empty diploma cover during the ceremony, but don’t worry—you will receive your official diploma in the mail about six weeks after you complete your degree requirements.
