If you're attending graduation on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, please remember there is a clear bag policy in place at Lloyd Noble as well as a security check. Commencement ceremony start times are exact so please arrive early — doors open an hour before.

This is quite a to-do list ✔️

How's the stress level, y'all? You'll get through it, we promise!

Let's try this again 🙃 Bizzell Memorial Library is now open 24 hours a day until Friday, May 10 at 9 p.m. We will not be closing.

So students, come in your jammies, bring snacks and blankets, and stay awhile. And good luck with finals!

Two OU students and one alumnus have received Fulbright U.S. Student awards for the 2024-2025 academic year, with one other recent alumnus receiving a Fulbright U.S. Student award for the 2023-2024 cycle early this spring.
