UAF will celebrate the Class of 2020 with a virtual ceremony at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 23. The event will include many of the things you expect at a traditional commencement exercise. It also will let graduates share this moment with family, friends and the academic community.

Graduates will be recognized with an official slide customized with a photo, degree and field of study, and a personal message. Graduates should have received an email asking them to submit the following information by May 11, 2020.


  • RSVP and let us know you'll be participating.

  • Record your name. This will ensure the announcer pronounces your name correctly.

  • Upload your graduation photo. Graduation themed photos are encouraged.

  • Include a personal announcement. You can include a short personal announcement up to 150 words.


Please be sure your photo and message are in keeping with a traditional commencement event.

Orders for graduation regalia are still available for purchase. Please send any inquiries to 1191mgr@follett.com.
