Commencement Tickets

Commencement is held in the Convocation Center on the main campus and admission to the ceremonies is strictly controlled by ticket admission. Because of fire code restrictions, we are limited in the number of people who may be in the Convocation Center at one time. Of primary importance to most students is the number of tickets they will receive to distribute to family and friends who may want to attend the Commencement ceremonies.

The number tickets allocated is solely dependent upon the number of graduation candidates for any given conferral period. The larger the graduating class, the fewer tickets distributed. Therefore it is critical that you accurately project when you plan to graduate and that you return forms sent to you to confirm your intentions about graduation.

Once we allocate tickets, we ask students who do not need all tickets allocated to return their unneeded tickets to the Registrar's Office so that we may distribute them to students who do need extra tickets. It is our intent that all students receive the maximum number of tickets needed so we work dilingently to meet every student's need.
