Several of the hotels offer minivan service to the campus. If you will need van service, be sure to ask about availability when making reservations. The weather in Houston in May is very hot and humid, and all events held indoors will be in air-conditioned venues. Men typically wear nice shirts and slacks or a coat and tie to the indoor events. However, the commencement ceremony itself will be held outside and most men find coats and ties to be uncomfortable.
Ladies typically wear nice slacks, skirts, or dresses.
Light colors and fabrics are recommended for the outdoor ceremony. I have X number of family members and guests that want to attend. We understand that this situation is not ideal. Unfortunately, Autry Court is the largest indoor facility on campus. Many, if not most, of the degree candidates have more than two family members or guests that want to attend.
