Each space, period, apostrophe, hyphen, or other punctuation mark counts as one character. Names of 15 or fewer characters may be placed on a single line. Sorry, but some requests cannot be honored. In honor of. . . or Congratulations , although paver orders will be welcomed that include only the name and, if desired, the graduation date of a deceased alumnus, alumna or friend. If desired, the third line may include the year or years in which an OU degree was awarded.
Space is available for up to two graduation years, plus the degree type for an advanced degree.
If no OU degree has been awarded, the third line will remain blank. If a paver is ordered with the name of a current student or small child, an option exists for adding a graduation year in the future. The price of this option will be based on the market cost of additional engraving at the time the request is made. We anticipate that, with normal wear, every paver will last for decades. If a paver should suffer extensive damage by weather, wear, accident or vandalism within 10 years of its original placement, however, the University will replace and re-engrave the stone as it originally appeared.
