Commencement Activities

School Graduation Ceremonies

Each fall and spring, School Graduation Ceremonies will recognize graduates and their school classmates individually with traditional walking exercises in the Activity Center or Arts and Technology Lecture Hall. School ceremonies are followed by a gathering for new graduates, families and friends at the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center.

GRADUATION Schedule

University Commencement

In addition to School Graduation Ceremonies, each spring the University Commencement will honor the spring class as well as graduates from the preceding fall and summer. The outdoor ceremony, led by the President Richard C. Benson, features a grand procession, a keynote speaker, entertainment and fireworks.

University Commencement

Graduation regalia is required for both ceremonies. Only approved UTD regalia may be worn. Cords and stoles not distributed by UTD or their official regalia merchandisers are not permitted, and students may be asked to remove them.
