Tickets are required for admission to the ceremony. Each school determines the ticket allotment per student and handles the distribution of tickets in advance of the ceremony. There will be no re-entry into the ceremony once a ticket is scanned. 

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. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping us create a safe and memorable experience for our graduates.
