Commencement draws many people to the UNT campus to celebrate with graduates. Because many people will converge on campus at the same time, there will be more congestion and traffic on campus than usual all day Friday, Dec. 13, Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 15.
Guests should only use Highland Street to access the drop-off location or accessible parking in Lots 26 and 27.
