Tickets, Seating & Reentry

As is routine for the Robins Center, guests will pass through metal detectors when entering the venue, including if reentering.

Each guest for the main Commencement ceremony on Sunday will be required to present their Commencement ticket, which has a unique code and will be scanned by event staff upon entry. More information about tickets located on Main Graduating Student ticket page.  

Guests will be seated in the Robins Center arena seating. All seating is general admission.

We do ask that you remain inside the Robins Center once your ticket is scanned. Late arrivals and reentry will be handled by event staff on a case-by-case basis to minimize disruptions and noise. Commencement staff will guide you to enter at an appropriate time.

Photography

There will be photographers present at every ceremony. For registration information, please visit the graduating students page.
