Guest Tickets

Due to limited seating in the Bill Greehey Arena, commencement tickets are required for admission. Each graduating student approved in the Fall 2024 Commencement will receive an email for the number of tickets they will receive.

To accommodate additional guests, overflow seating will be available in the University Center, Conference Room B, where guests will view a live broadcast of the ceremony. No tickets are required to enter the University Center.

Immediately following the ceremony, all guests will reunite with the graduates outside the Arena. 

For guests unable to attend, please note that the commencement ceremony will be livestreamed on our website. Visit the livestream page to check technical requirements or to watch the ceremony.

Children age 3 and under do not need tickets, provided they can sit on an adult’s lap for the duration of the ceremony.
