Commencement Ticket Distribution - Ends Wednesday!

If you have not yet picked up your complimentary tickets for Commencement, please do so by 5:00 p.m. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2 in the Office of Alumni Relations, Suite 310. The office is open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Mon - Fri; however, Monday, April 30, staff will not be available to distribute tickets until 1:00 pm.

Please also be prepared to show photo ID at time of pick-up. Tickets will NOT be distributed unless you have completed both the Cap and Gown Form and the Student Information Form. (Please NOTE: The Student Information form is SEPARATE from the Application for Graduation required by the Registrar’s Office, and is necessary if you plan to participate in the Commencement exercises.)

Each student will receive seven (7) tickets automatically at ticket pick-up, and a special commemorative ticket for each graduate! Each one of your guests will need a ticket to enter the graduation ceremony (graduates do not need tickets). Children ages two and under do not need tickets.

Additional tickets beyond your complimentary seven will be available for purchase until FRIDAY, MAY 11. A payment of $15 per additional ticket is due at pick-up. Check, credit card or cash (exact change, please) are acceptable methods of payment for the additional tickets. If you will not need the additional tickets you had requested, or need a different number of them, simply mention so when picking up your tickets, and you will be charged accordingly. All ticket sales are final, so please purchase only those you will need.
