New December Graduation Ceremony Being Added

The University of Arkansas will add a December all-university graduation ceremony to continue to meet the needs of our growing student body. The return of a December graduation ceremony comes in part as a response to student demand voiced in an Associated Student Government student poll.

The December ceremony will be in addition to the traditional May commencement ceremony.

The first fall-semester commencement ceremony will be at 9 a.m. Dec. 17 in Barnhill Arena.

This ceremony is designed for undergraduate, graduate and law students who received their degrees in August or December. Individual college and school ceremonies will not be held in December, but undergraduate, graduate and law students will have the opportunity to walk across the stage in this all-university ceremony.
