Commencement Dates and Information

Graduation Caps

Ticket Distribution

Tickets for the commencement ceremonies are free, and will be distributed to graduating students at the beginning of April. The number of tickets available is entirely dependent on the number of graduates who plan to attend the ceremonies. Historically, we have been able to distribute six tickets to each graduate, but we will not know the final number of tickets per student until we receive a final confirmation of the number of graduates in attendance.
