Since we expect around 350 students to participate this year, this leaves only about 1500 seats for guests. All tickets will be distributed at once, therefore, no extras will be available. Tickets will be assigned in random order so no student receives preference. We will do our best to seat guests for each graduate together. Tickets will be mailed to graduating students by Monday, May 7, and should arrive at least a week before the event.
Students are responsible for distributing tickets to their guests.
It is very possible that each graduate may receive only 4 tickets but the form will allow you to ask for as many as you need, in case we are able to fill your request. However, please ask for only those seats you plan to use. If you only receive 4 tickets to Convocation but want to have more guests attend, they may take a gamble for getting last minute seating at the event. Every year we have been able to seat about 100 unticketed guests this way. However, this system will not work if 50 students each try to bring 5 extra guests.
