Fall 2006 - Graduation Dates & Speakers

The TAMU Office of Admissions and Records is responsible for balancing the number of graduates at each commencement ceremony. Consequently, the determination of which colleges will graduate at which ceremony is typically not established until 2-3 weeks after the graduation application deadline for that semester.
