Graduation Photos

Graduation photos capture more than a moment—they celebrate your achievement, your pride, and everything it took to get here.

Get inspired by past graduates, find the best spots on campus for your photo moment, and take advantage of professional photo opportunities with GradImages.

Commencement Day

Grad Images will be taking photos the day of Commencement, at the student entrance starting at 6:30 p.m. It is your responsibility to meet with them for a chance to take a portrait prior to entering the field. All portraits taken will be available for purchase from the photographers who will contact you after the ceremony.

Campus Store GradFest

If you would like a more formal look for your photos, Grad Images will be at GradFest (dates TBD) at the Campus Store. They will have regalia you can borrow for the photo and you will be provided with a proof before deciding to purchase.

Old Main Photo Sessions

Grad Images will be outdoors at Old Main (dates TBD). Photographers will be on both the east and west sides. There's no commitment to purchasing the photos that day. You will be emailed proofs of your photos and can then decide if you would like to purchase them. Just show up in your regalia or favorite U of A gear on the day and time that works best for you.

Send Us Your Graduation Photo

We will begin collecting photos for the 2027 Commencement in March.

All photos (unless inappropriate) will be part of a slideshow played during the pre-show and after the finale.

We will be selecting some of our favorites to be used in the countdown video that kicks off beginning of the ceremony!

PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to not use a photo that is inappropriate, of poor quality, and cannot guarantee the inclusion of any photos sent to us after the deadline.
