Schedule and Tickets

Our commencement ceremonies do require a ticket for each guest. Tickets can be printed or digital. Each ticket will have a unique QR code, which will be scanned at the door. Each graduate will be allotted a select number of tickets for their guests in the weeks leading up to the event. On the Monday two weeks before Commencement, all remaining seats, including a general admission area, will become available to graduating students who would like to attend the ceremony.

Tickets can be ordered from our Commencement Schedule.
