Commencement Information

Spring Commencement 2020

Considering public health restrictions and recommendations regarding mass gatherings and travel, it has been determined that a traditional ceremony cannot be held safely. Since current guidance for physical distancing would not be possible with thousands of people in attendance, we are offering a virtual ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 8, beginning at 10 a.m.

Below are some details to be aware of as we celebrate your graduation from UWRF:

The virtual ceremony will be Saturday, Aug. 8, at 10 a.m.
Diploma covers are being sent via mail in the coming weeks.
Students who plan to participate in the Virtual Commencement Ceremony on August 8 may order a full regalia set (gown, cap, tassel) directly through Herff Jones. Orders will be shipped directly to the student. Visit http://herff.ly/uwrf to order.
Students who have already purchased a regalia set from Herff Jones and no longer plan to attend the virtual ceremony may return the purchase. If you choose to return your cap and gown (including tassel, stole, hood or cords), you can do so by following the link to our College Regalia returns page at www.herffjones.com/collegereturns
Students who wish to purchase just a cap, tassel, or both, may do so through the Falcon Shop online at http://uwrfshop.com Please select the tassel that corresponds to your degree college.
Questions (about cap or tassel orders only) can be directed to the Falcon Shop at 0375mgr@follett.com.
Questions about regalia sets and orders must be directed to Herff Jones at 1-800-837-4235.
