Ticketing Update
We wanted to share a very important update with you. Starting with May 2026 Commencement, spring ceremonies will now be ticketed (December ceremonies will remain un-ticketed). Each graduate will receive up to 7 free guest tickets with the possibility to be waitlisted for additional tickets.
This change is necessary to ensure the safety of our graduates and guests while complying with the venue's capacity and fire code regulations. For family and friends that are unable to attend in person, there will be a livestream of the ceremony that can be found on the Commencement website.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation with this change. We appreciate your understanding as we make these adjustments. We look forward to celebrating with you and your guests. Keep an eye out for more information on the ticketing process in the spring semester.
