The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is excited to continue planning in-person ceremonies at Baxter Arena, while prioritizing the safety of our graduates and their guests. The health and safety of all graduates and their guests is our number one priority, and campus safety protocols will continue to update in accordance with guidance from the CDC and the Douglas County Health Department. We will provide updated guidance on these protocols closer to Aug. 14.
August Commencement is Aug. 14
August 2021 Graduates
August graduates will be celebrated at a 9 A.M. ceremony on Aug. 14 and Chancellor Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA, will confer the degrees to candidates. Graduates can register to walk with their fellow graduates at the time they apply for their degree through MavLINK. If you are graduating, be sure to order your cap and gown through the UNO Bookstore.
Past 2020 Graduates
Past 2020 graduates (those whose degrees were conferred in May, Aug. or Dec. 2020), will be celebrated at 1 P.M. on Aug. 14. They should have received a survey over the spring to indicate their interest in participating in a ceremony. If you were not able to respond, please contact the Registrar’s Office by July 9 at unoregistrar@unomaha.edu.
