Request a Program
- Order your graduation essentials at the UO Duck Store. Announcements and regalia, including honors cords for students graduating with honors, are available on the Duck Store's website. All graduates can order a diploma cover free of charge this year thanks to a donation from the University of Oregon Alumni Association. Shipping from the Duck Store takes 5-7 business days. For those who hold Beta Gamma Sigma honors, honor cords may be purchased online via the Beta Gamma Sigma store.
- Personalize your graduation slide. You should have been sent an email to your UO email address that included specific instructions on how to personalize your information. Personalization will include your name being read, photo, video, and a written message (all optional). Your individual slide clip will be downloadable so you can share with family and friends. This personalization is optional and students who choose not to be recognized individually will be given an opportunity to opt out.
Deadlines for personalization:
- OPTIONAL: Submit a commencement message video no later than June 8. Graduates are encouraged to record a message to their peers which may be selected for use in a montage for commencement. Instructions for recording and submitting your video can be found on the submission form.
- Spread the love on social media. Share your commencement story using the hashtag #duckgrad20, with custom commencement Instagram filters, and official UO giphy stickers.
