We have created the Graduate OU Canvas course as a central location focused on helping you successfully navigate the graduation experience. Modules are available for you to read through and complete any necessary actions to ensure a smooth graduation process.
Students are added to the course 4 - 5 weeks into the semester they are graduating. If you don’t see the course on your Canvas page, please email graduateOU@ou.edu.
Graduate OU will help you:
