Ticket information

We are thrilled to welcome our graduates and their family and friends for a memorable celebration! To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, and to comply with venue capacity limits and fire codes, this year’s event will require a ticket for entry for all graduates and their guests.

You will receive 1 ticket for yourself and up to 4 guest tickets. To receive tickets for both you and your guests, you must register by no later than April 23. You should only reserve the number of tickets you will need. If you do not need four guest tickets, we ask that you return them to the ticket pool for later distribution. You may also share them with other students.

Tickets and Name and Degree Card will be available for in-person pick-up only the week of May 5. More details on time and location are forthcoming.

Please keep your tickets safe! A physical ticket is required for entry. Lost or misplaced tickets cannot be replaced. You must present your ticket at the event for admission.

If extra tickets are available, we will make an announcement closer to the event regarding how and when those will be distributed.

Guests without a ticket are invited to view a livestream of the event via broadcast.iu.edu. The direct link to the SoE Convocation livestream will be posted here as the event date gets closer.
