Commencement 2017 takes place Saturday, May 6, 2017. Participating faculty should act now to inform coordinators they plan to attend and to ensure their rented regalia is here in time for the ceremony.

Faculty can RSVP online here. Participating faculty should arrive at the Carlson Center by 12:45 p.m. on May 6 for line-up and go to the Arthur Buswell Pioneer Room, also known as the robing room.

Commencement regalia can be rented from the UAF Bookstore. The deadline for renting regalia from the bookstore's online service is April 3.

All faculty orders placed by April 3 will be shipped as a group to the UAF Bookstore with the faculty member's name on each individual order. Regalia rentals can be picked up and paid for at the UAF Bookstore. All rental regalia should be returned to the Bookstore within 10 days after commencement.

If faculty members miss the deadline for ordering rental regalia, standard-quality caps, gowns and tassels can be purchased at the bookstore. For more information, call 474-6858.
