Commencement Tickets

what you need to know

Graduates are given tickets during the week of Spring Grad Fest (mid March). There will be an initial allotment of tickets and extra ticket disbursement is not guaranteed. These decisions are based on current health and safety protocols, venue capacity, and number of participating graduates. All guests entering the venue, including children, need to present a ticket. This includes children or infants of any age.
