About 1,000 students will become University of Alabama graduates during the summer commencement ceremony.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Aug. 6 at Coleman Coliseum on the UA campus.

Unlike the fall and spring graduation exercises, which are spread out over a weekend, the summer commencement will be a single ceremony.
