Accessibility Information:
For the College of Education Departmental Ceremony: accessible seating will be located underneath a tented area on the South Lawn behind Knight Library and should be easy to find on the field. We will have information tables at each corner of the field if you have questions. As this seating is limited, we request that the person needing accommodation sit there with only one other member of their family; remaining party members should sit in the ample seating available on the lawn. The chairs are the same as those that are under the tent. All accessible seating is on a first-come, first-served basis; we do not take reservations for these seats.
ADA parking will be in lot 37, as well as the 13th Ave. garage. There will be golf carts stationed in lot 37 to help with ADA shuttle needs. Guests can approach and ask for shuttle service to the south lawn site. The accessible shuttle will also run that day.
If you have questions, please contact Lisa Fortin at lfortin@uoregon.edu.
College of Education 2024 graduates share messages of gratitude for friends, family, and supporters.

Graduation Etiquette
We know it’s an exciting day, but we expect our graduates to maintain reasonable and appropriate behavior at all times during the ceremony to ensure it is enjoyable for all participants, family members, guests, and staff. Once you have crossed the stage and received your diploma cover we ask that you return to your seat while the remaining students cross the stage. Students need to remain for the entire ceremony.
We kindly request that all graduates limit their consumption of alcohol and other substances prior to the ceremony. Graduates who arrive under the influence may be refused the opportunity to participate, and the staffs of Autzen Stadium and the COE reserve the right to relocate or remove anyone who is creating a disturbance.
The College of Education Ceremony recognizes Doctoral Students first, then all other degrees and programs by department.
Remember to please be courteous and return to your seat once you’ve crossed the stage and to please remain seated until all students have crossed the stage and the ceremony comes to an end.
Thank you to all of our graduates, participants, family members, guests, and staff who we know will make this a wonderful day for all.
