Pomp and circumstance returns for eight in-person commencement ceremonies at Globe Life Field Thursday-Saturday, May 13-15, for all of the University’s graduates from 2020 and spring 2021.

The commencement exercises will mark the first time UTA has hosted in-person ceremonies since December 2019, as all 2020 ceremonies were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A virtual ceremony for all colleges is scheduled for Sunday, May 16, at uta.edu/commencement for those who are unable or do not wish to attend the in-person ceremonies.

The Thermal Energy Plant has planned its annual outage of campus steam service to complete inspection and repair requirements of the system components. The outage is scheduled to begin at midnight on Monday, May 17. Normal operations should resume by 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 22.

During the time designated, the buildings served by the Thermal Energy Plant will be without hot water and steam, including heated water for the swimming pool. Electrical power, air conditioning, chilled water, and domestic cold water services will still be available.

For questions on buildings or equipment impacted by the outage, contact Bobby Kirby at bkirby@uta.edu or 272-2564.
