About Our Ceremonies
We celebrate our graduates’ accomplishments three times each year. Family and friends may attend in person or watch the ceremonies via livestream. Students will receive a link for virtual viewing prior to the event that they may share. Please note that loud noisemakers, including air horns, and helium balloons are not allowed at our ceremonies.
Only official regalia may be worn at commencement ceremonies, including cords, sashes, stoles, etc. distributed with the approval of your UTHealth Houston school. No other items are permitted to be worn or carried. Decorations or alterations of regalia are not permitted.
