May events canceled; make plans to reschedule

UT Arlington is canceling all events on campus in May, including high school graduations at College Park Center, in accordance with local, regional, and national health guidelines.

When possible, the University is working with organizers to reschedule their events at later dates.

Moving forward, UTA officials are planning to issue cancellation decisions by the first day of the month prior to when the event is scheduled. For example, the University plans to make decisions on June events by May 1.

Please reach out to your UTA contact if there are questions or there is a need to reschedule.
