Certain undergraduate students who attempt no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete their degrees may be entitled up to a $1,000 tuition rebate after graduation. Click here for more information.
Guidelines for appropriate attire and adornments at Commencement have been established by the Provost, Commencement Coordinator, and the University Registrar in order to preserve the importance of the occasion and to show respect for the University, its graduates, and their families. Formal academic regalia consisting of black academic gowns and mortarboards are the dress of the day. Students may choose what attire they wish to wear underneath their regalia, but clothing is mandatory, as are shoes. Bare feet will not be permitted in the arena, as this is not hygienic. Apart from decorated caps (which are permitted), non-permitted adornments are not acceptable. The following outlines the adornments and attire that are acceptable to be worn as part of the academic regalia at commencement.
Adornments to the traditional Academic Regalia may include but are not limited to cords, stoles, medallions, and pins.
Flash Photography will be photographing each graduate at the commencement ceremony. Complimentary proofs will be mailed to you within one week of the ceremony. If you have any questions, please contact Flash Photography via their website at www.FLASHphotography.com.
All guests are subject to a search of their person and their property.
No purses, bags, or containers larger than a small clutch bag, outside food or drink, alcohol, drugs, weapons, pets (exception: service animals), distracting and noise-making objects, balloons, and any other large celebratory items are not allowed as these may infringe upon the integrity of the ceremony and the safety of graduates and guests. Smoking is strictly prohibited.
For detailed information on prohibited materials and bag policy, please visit the Guest info.
Every graduate is issued one complimentary diploma upon meeting his or her degree requirements. All official Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Bachelor and Master degree diplomas are produced in-house on the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi campus. These diplomas are printed on 10 by 13-inch high-quality #65 text Classic Crest Baronial diploma stock paper. Doctoral degree diplomas are printed through a separate process out of state.
Diplomas are not distributed at the commencement ceremony but are made available for pick up at the Office of the Registrar in the weeks following the ceremony. For information regarding duplicate copies, click here.
