Ticketing

Registration

Tickets are required for all guests attending the Main Ceremony Friday, May 16, in Zable Stadium. Class of 2026 graduates may request tickets during the Commencement registration period (Feb. 20 – March 22). Graduating students will receive an email in February with a registration link. Each graduate may initially request up to four guest tickets for the ceremony at Zable Stadium. During registration, graduates may also indicate if they wish to receive any additional tickets that become available after the period closes. Requests for extra tickets will be reviewed, and requestors will be notified in mid-April if they can be accommodated. 

Distribution

All tickets are electronic and will be emailed to graduates in mid-May. Graduates must forward tickets to their guests, who may present them either printed or on a mobile device. Mobile tickets should be open and ready for scanning at the entry gate. Each ticket is valid for a single scan and may not be duplicated. Children age 2 and under do not need a ticket.

Inclement Weather

If severe weather occurs, the ceremony will move to Kaplan Arena. Due to limited indoor capacity, graduates will receive only two guest tickets, regardless of any additional requests. No exceptions can be made regarding ticket limits, but families and supporters can watch the event via livestream.
