This year, 4,783 graduates will turn their tassels during the University of Oregon’s commencement ceremonies.

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s celebration of the Class of 2024.

Main commencement ceremony

The 146th university-wide commencement ceremony will be held in Autzen Stadium at 9 a.m., Monday, June 17.

The main ceremony will be preceded by the annual Grand Entrance where graduates gather at the Moshofsky Plaza at 7:30 a.m. and begin walking onto the Auzten field through the West Tunnel at 8:15 a.m.

Graduates do not cross the stage to accept diplomas. Instead, there will be a conferral of degrees, with announcers recognizing each school or college and asking graduates to stand when their group is called.

Guest tickets are not required, but graduates are required to RSVP.

Autzen Stadium, as well as Matthew Knight Arena, have a clear-bag policy. Attendees are limited to one clear bag per person, along with a small clutch or purse for privacy or medical needs. Large purses or backpacks will not be permitted.

There will be significant traffic before the main ceremony. Attendees are advised to arrive early. The stadium parking lot opens at 6:30 a.m. There will be no public parking on the UO campus on Monday.

Following the main ceremony, free shuttle buses can transport attendees from Autzen Stadium to the main campus, where they will make four stops: Matthew Knight Arena, Global Scholars Hall, Frohnmayer Music Building, and the Knight Library, before returning to Autzen. Shuttles will run continuously until 7 p.m.
