Guest tickets

Ordering your guest tickets

Every guest, including all children, must have their own printed or electronic ticket to present at the entrance to the hall. While tickets are required, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Graduates are responsible for registering to obtain tickets for their guests and for ensuring that their guests have these tickets. Further information on how to order tickets will be posted in mid-February 2025.

As a graduate, you do not need a ticket; your seat is reserved at the front of the room.

Number of guest tickets per graduate

Because seating in the hall is limited, the number of guests allowed is restricted. Normally, each graduate will only be allocated two (2) tickets.

Further information will be published on this page one month before the ceremonies.

Any friends or family members who cannot attend in person can join the live stream of the celebration or watch a recording of the ceremonies at any time. Links to attend the ceremony online will be posted before the ceremony.

Cancelling your tickets

If you have ordered tickets but cannot attend or use the tickets, please contact InfoService and leave your name and student number.

If you are an international student and need a temporary visa for family members, contact InfoService for instructions.
