Here guests will be able to reserve seats by completing a ticketing "purchase". Please note that there is no cost to tickets, however there is a limit of 6 tickets per "purchase" or transaction. Important information regarding tickets:

We have also included a map for where students will enter (rear stage entrance off of Lily Street at James Avenue), along with a parking map (Centennial Parking Locations) . The Ceremony begins promptly at 10:00 am August 19th, 2026, but some time is needed to coordinate the procession and escort everyone to the stage prior.
We ask that students arrive at 8:00 am.
Doors open for the event at 9:00 am on August 19th for guests.
It is anticipated that the ceremony will end by 12 noon with Reception to follow.
