There will be a ticket system for this event where students will only be allowed to have a select number of guests and individual names will not be called.

Graduates from the full academic year (Fall 2014, Spring 2015, and Summer 2015 graduates) are invited to participate in the annual University Commencement in May 2015. Fall 2014 graduates will receive information on complimentary tickets for themselves and their families, and will join the University Commencement in a special honorary section with their families. Spring 2015 candidates should apply for graduation by the regular deadline of February 27th (late deadline March 27th) and be approved to graduate by their colleges. Summer 2015 candidates must apply for summer graduation by an early deadline of April 17th in order to be considered for participation in the May University Commencement (the Summer graduation application opens April 3rd). Applicants will be “pre-reviewed” by their College to determine whether all remaining coursework and requirements for graduation can reasonably be completed during the summer semester.
