Tickets
Guest tickets
- Entrance tickets are required for all guests. Children under the age of two do not need a ticket. Children are not permitted on the ceremony floor with graduates.
- All tickets are complimentary and should be ordered by the graduate when completing their Commencement registration/order form.
- Each graduate can request up to eight tickets. We ask that students confirm the attendance of their guests before ordering so that tickets are available for all who want them.
- Certain sections of the stadium have been reserved for guests with special needs and graduates may order tickets for these sections when they fill out the Registration/Order Form.
- As a courtesy to others, please do not request more tickets than you can use.
- Guest seating is on a first come, first served basis.
- Graduates receive their guest tickets via email once they complete the commencement registration form.
- If you find that you have ordered tickets that you will not use, please contact the Office of Ceremonies & Events at uwbgrads@uw.edu.
- Only ticketed guests may enter the arena; please do not invite guests who do not have tickets.
- Family and friends who cannot attend can watch a livestream of the ceremony.
Student tickets
All graduates are required to present their UW Husky ID card or other valid ID as their ticket in order to gain entrance to the student line-up areas. No student will be admitted without appropriate ID.
