FAQ’s
Q: Why aren’t we using Frost Amphitheater and having our ceremony on Sunday?
A: Celebrating the graduation of all three classes across the University means that the available spaces are being used at capacity. Using the air-conditioned Maples Pavilion on Saturday was our best option.
Q: Why are you restricting the number of guests that can attend?
A: Maples Pavilion is an indoor space and the number of graduates we expect to attend means that we have to limit the number of guests that can attend. Each graduate will be able to get up to 6 tickets.
Q: If I’m not able to attend the celebration in person, will I still be able to watch my graduate walk the stage?
A: Yes! We will be live streaming the event. Details on this will be shared closer to Commencement weekend.
Q: What if I need to bring more than 6 guests? Can I get extra tickets?
A: The deadline to claim tickets will be communicated shortly. If there are unclaimed tickets after that deadline, we will communicate the process to request extra tickets.
