2026 Commencement Ticket Information

ºìÌÒÊÓƵ College Commencement Ceremony

To help you and your loved ones celebrate this important milestone, each graduate will receive six (6) tickets to the Commencement Ceremony, held in the Sturrus Sports & Fitness Center.

All guests entering Sturrus must have a ticket. Lost tickets cannot be replaced or reprinted.

Guests without a Sturrus ticket may watch the ceremony via a live video stream, either online or at our designated alternate on-campus viewing location.

 

Ticket Pick Up

Graduates may pick up their six tickets at GradFest on April 13, 2026, from noon–2 p.m. and 5–7 p.m. in the Wege Ballroom.  A student ID is required to pick up tickets.

If you are unable to attend GradFest, please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@aquinas.edu to make arrangements to pick up your tickets.

All tickets must be picked up no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, April 17, 2026. Any tickets not picked up by this deadline will be released and made available as additional tickets.

If you do not need all six tickets, you are encouraged to share them with classmates who may need additional tickets or return any extra tickets at GradFest when picking up your tickets, so they may be added to the extra ticket pool.
