Tickets

Tickets are required for admittance to the undergraduate Commencement ceremony.

Undergraduates can order up to six (6) tickets for their guests. Students are responsible for ordering tickets for their guests on the Commencement checklist. Students do not need a ticket for themselves, only their guests need tickets. Only students eligible to participate at Commencement will have access to ticket ordering. All seats are assigned and will be assigned at random. There is no cost for Commencement tickets.

There are no additional/extra tickets available. Please check with your classmates for extra tickets.

All tickets will be emailed to students at their UP email one week prior to the ceremony.
