UNT hosts North Central Texas College and a couple dozen local high schools in May every year as these institutions celebrate their graduating students. Below is a schedule of graduations held at UNT, information for graduates and guests and parking and travel information.
Graduation is one of the biggest and most important events in the lives of high school graduates. It is the event they have been working toward for many years, and UNT wants to make the experience as special and pleasant for the graduates and guests as possible.
Ongoing street construction projects in Denton and around UNT may impact guests' travel to, from and on campus. Please plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time to arrive on campus, park and walk to the Coliseum.
