Deadline Nov. 6 for Fall Commencement Registration
Students have until Nov. 6 to register their attendance or nonattendance for fall commencement ceremonies at the U of A.
All 2020 degree graduates and candidates should have received an email from noreply@marchingorder.com with information on commencement and a link to the commencement registration website. Students planning on attending commencement must register on the registration site by Nov. 6 and will be asked to input an image and message for the virtual commencement site, which will be launched closer to commencement, featuring video remarks from university leadership and profiles of graduates. Students who have not received an email from noreply@marchingorder.com should contact the Office of the Registrar at registra@uark.edu or 479-575-2538.
Tickets will be required to attend the event, and seating is limited to graduating students and guests. Graduating students will be limited to six tickets for family and guests and will receive the tickets via email after completing registration. The number of ceremonies for each college will depend on the number of students who register to attend.
The schedule of commencement ceremonies can be found on the Registrar website, which also features additional information regarding regalia and other procedures.
All 2020 graduates may also choose to attend a future commencement ceremony in spring 2021 or beyond. Those interested should contact the Office of the Registrar with their request.
