UNT does not host commencement ceremonies during the summer. Students who fulfill graduation requirements and are approved to graduate during the summer can either participate in the previous Spring Commencement ceremonies (if they apply to participate and are approved to do so) or they can participate in the next Fall Commencement ceremonies.

Virtual Commencement Experience

This spring, UNT will again host a virtual commencement experience for students who earned their degree remotely via online learning options or who cannot participate in their college’s in-person ceremony. Check out the Spring 2023 virtual commencement experience.

Students who have chosen to participate in this option – and friends and family members – may watch at their convenience. This experience includes a customized slide with name, degree and Latin Honors (if applicable) for each graduate who submitted an RSVP, their name read aloud, and congratulatory messages from UNT administration.
