Commencement is a time-honored academic ceremony that institutions of higher learning around the world have celebrated for centuries. The tradition highlights the hope and ambition of graduates and their families as they proudly claim their degrees and their destiny. General Commencement at University of Houston is one of the many ways the campus community expresses its pride in the achievements of UH students as they move into the next stage of success and leadership.
If you or someone you know is unable to attend the commencement ceremony, it will be live streamed on the Commencement Live (Video) page on this website at the day and time of the ceremony.
