Tickets are required for admission to the ceremony. If you have a child under 2 they will be considered a lap child and no ticket will be required. Each student will receive 12 tickets. If a student does NOT need all 12 tickets, they can distribute them amongst peers who may be in need of more tickets. There will be NO extra tickets this year.

Tickets will be distributed May 28-June 3 at the same time students receive their caps and gowns.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable graduation ceremony for all attendees, we have established the following health and safety protocols. All guests will be required to pass through metal detectors upon entry, and all bags are subject to inspection. We encourage attendees to bring minimal personal items to help expedite the entry process. Guests are expected to follow all venue guidelines, remain mindful of personal space, and stay home if they are feeling unwell. Security personnel and the Saint Paul Police Department will be present to assist with crowd management and to ensure a smooth and orderly event. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping us create a safe and memorable experience for our graduates.

Attendees are encouraged to park in the RiverCentre Parking Ramp which is located on Kellogg Boulevard and offers skyway access to Roy Wilkins Auditorium. The ramp is now equipped with license plate reader technology, making paying for parking more convenient and efficient.
Here’s how the new process works.
