Congratulations, Graduating Ducks!
Welcome to the 2023 CAS Commencement home page! This will be your one-stop shop for commencement details, logistics and your place to RSVP for the ceremonies.
This year, CAS commencement will be held on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, along with all other UO commencement ceremonies. The CAS graduation ceremony committee is actively working on program details, and we will share the final plans with you in the coming weeks.
Here are key commencement details as of February 24, 2023:
- The University of Oregon has moved all graduation ceremonies to a single day, Tuesday, June 20, due to the Juneteenth holiday falling on the traditional Monday day of graduation (June 19, 2023).
- Because ceremonies to award approximately 5,000 degrees will be held on one day, the university has determined that no college or school will be able to hold department-level graduation ceremonies due to space, time, and staffing constraints.
- Though we can't have individual departmental ceremonies, we are hoping to offer three CAS ceremonies, with majors divided by CAS divisions.
- The ceremonies will include individual recognition of graduates, including walking across the stage as names are called, and receiving diploma covers.
- We also anticipate a separate ceremony for PhD students that will provide the opportunity to participate in a hooding ceremony.
- The University will hold its general graduation celebration beginning at 9:00 a.m. at Autzen Stadium on June 20th.
- Families are invited to attend both CAS and UO ceremonies.
- Graduating students will need to RSVP for the UO and CAS ceremonies. RSVP info will be shared in March, too.
Visit this CAS Commencement home page in March 2023 for the latest updates on commencement activities.

Thank you for your interest in CAS’s commencement. We are actively working to finalize our plans for CAS commencement and expect to send more details to graduating students in early March.
