   COMMENCEMENT DEADLINES   
If your graduation application to participate in Spring 2024 Commencement was approved, you can log in to RSVP and select an in-person or virtual experience option starting today, March 27. You also will receive an RSVP prompt sent to your official UNT email. 
The RSVP window closes at 5 p.m. Friday, April 12. 
Master’s and bachelor’s degree recipients have until Monday, April 1, to order regalia online. For in person purchases, the UNT Barnes & Noble bookstore will have master’s and bachelor’s regalia available through Sunday, May 12. 
Available size options will shrink as commencement approaches, so order early or be prepared to go up or down a size. See regalia prices or check out what your regalia might look like and what graduation accessories you may qualify for.
Look over the Mean Green Gowns for Grads program and learn if you qualify to complete the appropriate application to borrow a FREE cap and gown. The sooner you submit your application, the better. Some restrictions may apply. 
Finally, review this commencement checklist and the commencement schedule to make sure you are commencement ready!
