Graduation, Diplomas, and Commencement
Important Notice
The Fall 2020 Sul Ross State University Commencement will be a virtual ceremony on Saturday, December 12, 2020 beginning at 10:00 a.m. All four Sul Ross campuses – Alpine, Del Rio, Eagle Pass and Uvalde – will participate in this single commencement event. Sul Ross Alpine will switch to fully online course delivery following the Thanksgiving break in our continuing effort to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Rio Grande Campuses have already been fully online for the fall semester. The health and wellbeing of our students, their families, our faculty and staff is paramount during this time. In that spirit we will provide a virtual commencement exercise to recognize this important milestone in the lives of our students and their families. The Sul Ross family is deeply disappointed that we are unable to socially gather for this traditional celebration, and we look forward to a return to our regular commencement celebration format in the near future. Please see an important message from the Provost regarding the ceremony.
All students completing requirements for a degree must apply to graduate. Deadlines for application are published in the official academic calendar. The procedures for application differ by campus. Please see instructions below specific to the campus your program of study is associated with.
