Guest and Ticketing Information

The university uses a voucher/ticketing system to assure seating for guests attending convocation ceremonies in Grady Gammage Auditorium. To provide each graduating student an opportunity to have guests attend, this is a ticketed event and requires an RSVP. Tickets will be limited; each graduate is allowed up to 12 tickets. Students will need to pick up tickets at the Morrison School Dean's Office in Peralta Hall. Dates for ticket pick-ups will be announced at a later date.

Graduates who want additional tickets will have an opportunity to pick them up, if available, after the initial distribution dates. All tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

RSVPs can be submitted online using the Convocation RSVP Form. This will ensure an equal number of free tickets be made available to each graduate.

Grady Gammage Auditorium has special handicapped seating. Students needing special assistance for themselves or their guests should contact Anna Wales, convocation coordinator, at anna@asu.edu or (480) 560-0277 to make arrangements.

Photography

Chappell Studio will take professional photographs of all degree candidates. Graduates will receive proofs and a price list 7-10 days following the ceremony. Graduates can pre-register their e-mail for notification of their photos being available for online viewing and/or ordering at http://www.gradimages.com/Register.cfm.

Programs

Convocation programs are printed as part of the commencement program. Names of students who do not apply for graduation by the application deadline will not appear in the commencement and convocation program.

If you would like to participate in a convocation ceremony held in a semester prior to your graduation, you are welcome to do so. Your name, however, will not be listed in the commencement program until the semester you actually graduate.
