Everyone attending a UNCSA Commencement ceremony must have a ticket. Graduating students do not need a ticket but must complete the request form even if they will not be requesting guest tickets.

Commencement tickets are NON-TRANSFERRABLE. Students should NOT give tickets to others. No one without a ticket will be admitted to the event.

Graduating students request tickets for their guests. Those tickets are emailed to the graduating students' UNCSA artist email addresses from the UNCSA box office. Please ensure each guest has either an electronic copy of their ticket or a printed copy.

Commencement Ticket Limits

Graduates will be allotted four guest tickets and the ceremony will be live-streamed for additional access.

Request your University Commencement tickets.
