7 Things UT Dallas Students Need to Know Heading Into Graduation

Don't be <i>that</i> person. Make sure you arrive at the east end of the Activity Center with plenty of time to spare ― at least 45 minutes before your ceremony. Definitely add extra time to find a parking space. And if you haven't been told enough already, <b>don't forget your walking card</b>. Seriously. Don't forget it.

What to wear, what to wear, what to wear??? This is easy: your grad regalia. Oh, and the tassle goes on the RIGHT side. Pro tip: Take the comfy shoes and <b>leave the personal items</b>, including purses.

If ya don’t know, now ya know: Line up according to the number on your walking card. The ceremony typically lasts <b>about an hour or so</b>, so you better visit the bathroom beforehand.

You've walked the stage and NOW it's time to celebrate with your family and friends at Memories on the Mall, which will include plenty of <b>photo/selfie opps and special gifts</b>.
