Summer 2008 Graduates

Beginning this year (2008), the University of Texas at Dallas will no longer be holding a summer commencement ceremony. We will continue to award degrees at the end of the summer term. The official summer 2008 graduation date is August 23, 2008. Diplomas will be mailed to students with no holds on their accounts about 6-8 weeks after this date.
