2023 CAS Commencement

 

Congratulations, Graduating Ducks!

Welcome to the 2023 CAS Commencement home page! This will be your one-stop shop for CAS-related commencement details, logistics and your place to RSVP for the ceremonies. Check this page frequently for the latest updates.

The CAS Commencement Advisory Group has worked out the majority of program details. Here are the key details as of March 8, 2023:

  • The College of Arts and Sciences will hold five separate commencement ceremonies on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. The ceremonies will cluster graduates by academic divisional area and reduce the amount of time guests are sitting for the program. 
  • The five groups include undergraduate Humanities majors, Natural Sciences majors, Social Sciences majors, graduates of the School of Global Studies and Languages and a graduate ceremony for Master's and PhD students (including hooding). Below you will find the majors associated with each ceremony as well as times and locations. 
  • All ceremonies will include individual recognition of graduates, who will walk across the stage as names are called and receive diploma covers.
  • The University will hold its main commencement celebration beginning at 9:00 a.m. at Autzen Stadium on June 20th. Families are invited to attend both the CAS and UO ceremonies.
  • Students will need to RSVP for both the UO and CAS ceremonies. RSVP info will be shared soon.
  • For general information about commencement, please visit UO Commencement website. If you have specific UO commencement-related questions or concerns, email commencement@uoregon.edu
  • Thank you for your interest in CAS’s commencement. We expect to have a FAQ posted here soon with more details.
