Dear Faculty Member Participating in Commencement:
Thank you for your positive response to Dr. C. Mauli Agrawal's memorandum inviting
your participation in the University's December 2017 Commencement.
The faculty for the College of Architecture, Construction and Planning, College of
Education and Human Development, College of Liberal and Fine Arts, and University College
will need to assemble no later than 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 17, 2017 at the
Alamodome.
The Commencement ceremony processional will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. in the Alamodome.
A preliminary program/instruction sheet is attached for your reference that includes
information on shuttle service being provided for all faculty participants. Shuttles will
be provided from both the Main and Downtown campuses for all faculty. Please be sure to
arrive no later than 2:30 p.m. to ride the shuttle to the Alamodome. The shuttle will also

Enter the Alamodome through the South entrance loading dock (see attached layout). You

flyer. You will be able to bring your regalia into the Alamodome inside a standard regalia
bag provided you bring your UTSA ID card with you. Additional bags and/or purses are
subject to the Clear Bag Policy.
The faculty participants will robe in Meeting Room C/D on the lowest level. There will be
signs and UTSA Ambassadors to assist you.
If you have questions concerning Commencement, please contact me or contact your
college's graduation coordinator.
