OU to Celebrate the Class of 2023

April 25, 2023

NORMAN, OKLA. – The University of Oklahoma will honor the achievements of the Class of 2023 in a university-wide Commencement ceremony and 24 individual convocation ceremonies.

All Class of 2023 graduation candidates and their guests are invited to attend the Commencement ceremony at 7 p.m., Friday, May 12, at the Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Pageantry and tradition will be prominently displayed throughout the ceremony, which serves as a time for graduates to celebrate the culmination of their OU experience.

In addition to the Commencement ceremony, each degree-granting college at OU will host a convocation ceremony where graduates will be individually recognized, have their pictures taken and their diploma covers presented by their deans. Locations and times have been assigned to each college, and all ceremonies will be livestreamed. Additional information is available at ou.edu/commencement.
