The Graduate School May 2012 Commencement will be held on Friday, May 18th, at 7:00 P.M. in the United Spirit Arena. This ceremony is for Masters and Doctoral students that have filed an Intent to Graduate for this semester. Please contact the Graduate School to verify that your records are in order, (806) 742-2781.
All students will enter through the Drive-in Bay entry at the north end of the Arena (the ramp in the middle of the parking lot o the north side). Tables will be located there to pick up cards (printed with student's name and a seat number). You will then go into the Practice Court where chairs will have seat numbers attached, matching numbers on your card so that you will be lined up by colleges. Instructions will be given and you will form processional lines into the Arena at about 6:45 P.M. Students should arrive by 5:30 P.M. Doctoral candidates will carry their hoods and be formally hooded by their major professor(s). Master's candidates will wear their hoods. All diplomas will be given out in the City Bank Room upstairs in the arena AFTER the ceremony for those who are attending commencement. Even though the ceremony is on the 18th, diplomas will be dated May 19th, 2012 as that is the actual graduation date. Professor(s) hooding doctoral candidates should be in the Practice Court at least by 5:30 P.M.
