Convocation FAQs

What is University Convocation?

Just as Commencement is a ceremony that marks the completion of study, University Convocation celebrates a student's entry into higher education. It is also one of the first events presenting the new class of students to the President, Texas Tech administrators and professors. It is seen as the academic kick off to a new school year.

All new students are invited to attend University Convocation. All TTU administration, faculty & staff are also invited to attend. All Raider Ready students are required to attend Convocation.

Where is convocation?

Convocation activities will be held at the Urbanovsky Park Flag Football Fields.  Urbanovsky Park is located at the intersection of 15th St. and Flint Ave.

What time should I show up?

The program will begin promptly at 5:30 pm. We encourage students to arrive early to make sure they have plenty of time to "scan in".

I've heard about a free shirt. What's that about?

All students who attend convocation will receive a Class shirt at the conclusion of the program.
