  • All students who have responded that they are attending their graduation ceremony have been contacted by the Graduation Team about reserving/picking up tickets.
  • Tickets for all ceremonies are given to students to distribute. We do not give any tickets directly to family members/the public.
  • The tickets we give to students are free. There are never tickets “for sale” to any of our commencement ceremonies.
  • All guests must have a ticket to get into the venue. If you have a child under 2 who will sit on a lap, they do not need a ticket; however, they CANNOT take up a seat.

  • We expect all of our commencement ceremonies to last approximately 2 hours in length.
  • Out of respect for all of our students, we ask that you do not leave the ceremony until the entire program is complete.
  • Guests are prohibited from bringing signs/balloons to all ceremonies.
