University Commencement

Friday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. on the Roundabout

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

Grads on the Green

Following each school ceremony, graduates and their guests are invited to the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center for a Grads on the Green celebration. This celebratory event offers numerous Instagram-worthy photo opportunities and complimentary gifts from various university departments.

Graduation Regalia

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.
