OU Health Sciences candidates for graduation are invited to participate in University commencement ceremonies based on their academic program. For commencement ceremony information, visit OU Commencement. Diplomas are awarded three times a year.
Students completing degree requirements during the summer or fall semester may participate in the May graduation exercises the following year. Students who will complete or expect to complete requirements prior to, or by the end of, the following summer session may also, with the academic dean’s permission, participate in the spring commencement.
All students graduating from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences must complete an Application for Graduation before a diploma is issued. The application will be distributed directly to eligible candidates for graduation via email along with the respective term's deadline dates.
The responsibility for meeting graduation requirements lies with the student. All students are advised to check with their college Student Affairs office to verify that all degree requirements have been satisfied.
