Guest Tickets for Commencement
Graduates who register to participate in their commencement ceremony will receive an allotment of guest tickets. These tickets are divided into two categories:
- All-Weather Tickets: These grant access to both Richard Wackar Stadium and, in the event of severe weather, Esbjornson Gymnasium. Graduates should provide these tickets to their priority guests to ensure access to either venue.
- Stadium-Only Tickets: These are valid exclusively for Richard Wackar Stadium and cannot be used for entry into Esbjornson Gymnasium during severe weather conditions.
Live Stream Availability
For additional convenience, live stream links for the ceremonies will be available for guests unable to access the Esbjornson Gymnasium.
Ticket Deadlines
All tickets must be claimed by April 3, 2025. After this deadline, any unclaimed Stadium-Only Tickets will be assessed for availability. A first-come, first-served distribution of extra tickets will be offered. Graduates will receive an email at noon on April 8, 2025, with instructions on how to secure additional tickets.
Ticket Allotment
The number of tickets allocated to each graduate is determined by the venue's capacity and the total number of participants registered for each ceremony. Ensure you claim your tickets on time and provide them to your guests accordingly. Celebrate this special day with your loved ones!
