Congratulations Graduates! The staff at the Bookstore wish to commend you on your achievement. This year’s graduation class endured hardships that had not been seen by the world before, and your fortitude in the face of adversity is not lost on us. Therefore, in response to COVID and the graduation fees being lowered and no longer including regalia, the University of Arkansas Bookstore has created new and improved ways for you to purchase your regalia in store and online.
December 2020 Graduates
For students who are graduating in the Fall Semester, you have two options to acquire your regalia. Starting Monday, Oct. 19, you may stop by the University of Arkansas Bookstore, located on Garland Avenue, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays to purchase your regalia in person. Please be advised that due to COVID we have only one entrance and exit available, and it is the entrance facing Garland Avenue, opposite of Pat Walker Health Center. Masks are required to be worn properly at all times. Once you enter the store, please go to the Supplies area (located up the stairs) and let an associate know what semester you are graduating in, your degree and discipline, as well as your height. Once this information is provided, they can retrieve your regalia from the stock we have on hand and you can purchase it at any register.
Starting Monday, Oct. 26, we will have the opportunity for graduates to purchase regalia online via the buildagrad.com/uark website. This website will not be open until Oct. 26; however, it is set up where regalia can be purchased and sent to an address of your choice.
Spring/Summer 2020 Graduates
Students who graduated in Spring 2020 or Summer 2020, that have not picked up their regalia also still have options to do so; however, the process is different. For those individuals in the local area, you may also come into the Bookstore located on Garland Avenue at a time of your convenience to pick up your regalia. Once you enter the store, please go to the Supplies area (located upstairs) and let an associate know your name, student ID, degree and discipline, as well as your height. Once they confirm that you are on the Spring/Summer spreadsheet they can retrieve your regalia from the stock we have on hand.
If you need to have your regalia shipped to you, please contact us at [email protected]. Once we receive your email, we will request additional information and get your regalia sent out to you as soon as possible.
Virtual Grad Salute
This year due to social distancing and COVID-19, we will not have Grad Salute in store. We will be creating a virtual celebration online from Nov. 1-7. During the Virtual Grad Salute, additional information on where to purchase announcements, rings, and other merchandise to make your graduation ceremony special, will be provided. Additional information about how to reach this commemoration website will be provided closer to its launch date.
We Salute You
Again, we wish to salute you for your achievements, wish you well in all of your future endeavors, and hope to see you down the road for any and all of your future Razorback merchandise needs. Congratulations Class of 2020, you did it!
