Student and guest tickets

You'll receive a notification in your student portal (login required) when your tickets are available to download. This will be approximately 2 weeks prior to the graduation ceremony.

Make sure you print your student ticket and your guest tickets and bring them with you/your guests (or have them ready to show on your phones) on the day of graduation. Your student ticket states your row and seat number, so it is very important that you sit in the seat allocated to you.
