Your registration will create a unique Stage Pass QR code that will be used to trigger name announcement as you walk across the stage. You will receive your Stage Pass QR code at grad lineup the day of your ceremony.

*Please note that during the Commencement ceremonies, last-minute name changes will not be accommodated. The name cards are embedded with a unique barcode that will be used to display the names on the jumbo screen.

Tickets

Each graduate can claim up to eight (8) tickets for their ceremony. Tickets are free and cannot be bought or sold. Tickets that are bought or sold will be invalidated by the university.

Warning: Each ticket will have its own unique scanning pattern. Once a ticket has been scanned, it is no longer valid. Duplicate tickets are invalid. Electronic or hard copies of guest tickets must be presented for entrance into college graduation ceremonies.

Guest tickets will only be available electronically via Tassel.

Retrieving your Tickets after registration:

  • Log into your student portal to access the Tassel tile (the process is the same as when you logged in to register). Open your Tassel registration page to access your tickets again.
  • Tickets are required for all guests over the age of 2.
  • The name that populates on your tickets (ex: JohnSmith) will not affect your name display on screen.
  • You are able to update the names and emails of your guest tickets.
  • You are able to access tickets in your account until your ceremony date. We strongly advise you send or print your tickets a minimum of seven (7) days before your ceremony date and prior to arriving on campus for your ceremony. Wi-Fi bandwidth is low during the week of Commencement ceremonies.

Extra tickets will not be available. Tickets should not be sold.

Tickets can be transferred to another person via email. Ensure the tickets are for the same ceremony. Each ticket has a unique QR code and can only be used for the ceremony it is assigned.

All ceremonies will be livestreamed. The livestream links will be on the Commencement website one hour prior to the ceremony start time. The recorded ceremonies will remain on the Commencement website through summer 2025 for playback.
