Ticketing Information
Commencement Tickets
Tickets will be required for all commencement ceremonies taking place at the University of Houston. Tickets will be distributed to the graduating students to their UH ticketing account closer to the start of the ceremonies. Each graduate will receive six (6) electronic tickets. Graduates themselves will not require a ticket. Children two (2) years of age and under will not require tickets.
All commencement tickets are complimentary, and any unused tickets should be returned to the commencement ticket pool. The selling of commencement tickets is not condoned by the University and could constitute a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Failure to comply with this directive will result in a referral to the Dean of Students Office.
Once your digital graduation tickets are loaded to your online account you will be able to transfer your tickets to the individuals that you want to attend your commencement ceremony.
In order to transfer tickets, please use your @cougarnet.uh.edu email address to login to your account. You will then have the option to transfer tickets via email or mobile phone number.
Those receiving your tickets will need to create an account in order to receive them.
Creating an Account: If the recipient does not already have a UH Ticketing Account, they will need to create one to receive tickets. If your guest(s) already have an account, the system will recognize their email address at login.
If you have further questions, please contact gradtickets@uh.edu or 832.842.GRAD (4723).
