Commencement Schedule Update
Due to inclement weather forecasted for Friday morning, the College of Arts and Sciences ceremony at Texas Motor Speedway has been moved to Saturday at 2 p.m. We realize this may be inconvenient for some, but we need to ensure the safety of our graduates and our volunteers.
Texas Woman's University is holding in-person drive-thru graduation events Dec. 11-13 in recognition of all May, August and December graduates. These unique off-campus events will be livestreamed.
The Denton/Dallas ceremonies will be held at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth on Dec. 11-12. In Houston, the drive-thru ceremonies will be hosted by Heavy Construction Systems Specialists (HCSS) in Sugar Land on Dec. 13.
