Guest Seating at Commencement
In order to ensure comfortable, hassle-free seating for all guests, students will pre-select seats for their guests in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. See below for links to the ceremony's EventBrite page—the graduate's A# is the access code to enter the site. Each graduate is initially allotted six (6) tickets. Family and friends who cannot attend the ceremonies can watch the events live using the link above.
If any of your guests require ADA-compliant or wheelchair-accessible seating, or if you have any general ticketing questions, please contact the Office of the Registrar, at graduation@apsu.edu or (931) 221-7150.
All remaining available tickets will become available to graduating students on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 9:00AM.
