  • School of Business and School of Computing and Engineering ceremony: 7 tickets

  • School of Health Sciences: 7 tickets

  • College of Arts and Sciences and School of Communications ceremony: 7 tickets

  • School of Education and School of Nursing: 10 tickets

There will be no tickets required for the School of Law and Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine ceremonies being held on Friday because of smaller ceremony sizes.

All Saturday and Sunday ceremony graduates are able to register for their guests' tickets (graduating students do not need a ticket). Children 3 and over require a ticket. There are no further tickets available, however the ceremony will be live-streamed on this website.
