Day-of Instructions for Graduates

On the evening of Tuesday, May 10, 2022, OU-Tulsa graduates need to check-in at the Reynolds Center between 6:00 - 6:15 p.m. Please enter near the northwest lower level entrance marked "graduates and faculty." Volunteers will check you in and direct you to the designated staging area for your degree program. Please only bring belongings you can discreetly carry with you or place under your seat on the arena floor. Each graduate will be given a card at check-in with their name printed on it; this card will be used to announce your name as you walk across the stage, so please do not lose it.

As we approach the date the University will be monitoring COVID-19 trends and will make every effort to minimize impacts on the ceremony. 

Photography

A photography team will be on site at the Convocation ceremony.  The photographs taken will be available for purchase within a few weeks following the ceremony.

During the ceremony, all guests should stay out of graduate/faculty seating areas in the stadium seating and the arena floor. All aisles should be kept clear as well.

Regalia is Required

All graduates should wear appropriate caps, gowns, and tassels. Masters and doctoral level students will also be "hooded" as part of the Convocation ceremony, and must have their hood with them so as to be hooded on stage. While the official OU regalia is not required, you will need to be in a black gown. Details on the specific regalia items needed for each level of degree and program on the OU-Tulsa campus can be found in our OU-Tulsa regalia guide.

Diplomas & Transcripts

Official diplomas will be mailed to each student's address on file with the University roughly 10-12 weeks after completion of coursework, depending on your campus affiliation (HSC or Norman). Official transcripts may be requested earlier; email the OU-Tulsa Student Enrollment Center for additional information.
