Due to Inclement Weather, Commencement Moved Indoors

We’re looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2025 tomorrow! Due to the forecast of heavy rain and flooding and the damage sustained by the stage from today’s weather, we are moving the event indoors.  

  • The Commencement Ceremony will now take place in the arena at the East Campus Athletic Village (ECAV) and will begin at 9 a.m. Only graduates will be seated at ECAV and they are to check in at the ECAV lobby beginning at 7:30 a.m.
  • Guests can only view the ceremony via live stream from one of three locations: EMPAC, the Darrin Communications Center (DCC), or the Houston Field House (HFH). It can also be viewed from any location via this YouTube live stream link.
  • After the ceremony, please join us for the Commencement Picnic. You will be able to pick up food on the Hassan Quad and eat at EMPAC or other indoor locations on campus. 

Additional updates and instructions will be shared via the Commencement website and RPI Alert.
