Seating Information:

Each graduate can be assured of receiving up to eight tickets. However, children two years old and younger do not need tickets as long as they are not using a seat. Graduates do not need tickets.

As there is no reserved seating, guests are advised to arrive early to get seats of their choice. Early arrival will also enable guests to get settled in their seats prior to start of the processional. Please note: guests MUST have their tickets to be admitted and seating will begin approximately one hour before each commencement.
