Tickets are required for your guests at all of the commencement ceremonites. Ticket orders must be placed on MyUCLA between April 29 - May 14. The number of guest tickets available for each ceremony will vary depending on your department.



Ticket Ordering

Using MyUCLA, you can:
  • College Commencement: order tickets for you and your guests.
    (One student ticket and two guest tickets)
  • Department Graduations: send an RSVP for your attendance, and order tickets for your guests.
    (The number of available guest tickets varies by department)

Senior Survey

The Senior Survey will be available on April 1. The Senior Survey, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, asks about your UCLA experience. Your responses will be used to strengthen undergraduate education, and will help shape the UCLA experience for many generations to come. If you have not completed the survey when you order tickets for commencement, you will be asked to participate in the 2008 Senior Survey. Participation is voluntary and your decision will not affect your access to commencement tickets.

To go to the Senior Survey, click the link below. After logging in, you will be directed to your MyUCLA notification, which explains how to access the Senior Survey.

Department Graduations: Confirm Your Attendance

You do not need a ticket to participate in your departmental graduation. However, you must confirm your attendance through MyUCLA by May 14.




Guest Tickets (required for College Commencement and most departmental graduations)

The total number of guest tickets allowed per student will vary depending on the ceremony.

Please note that because of limits on seating capacity, the number of guest tickets available for the main College ceremony will be limited to two per student. You may request up to four wait-list tickets as part of your initial ticket order on MyUCLA.

For the Honors ceremony, guest tickets are limited to three per student.




Billing

To assist with the costs of the department graduations, most departments assess a fee for tickets above the complimentary minimum of four tickets.

Some departments charge $8 each for tickets ordered after the four complimentary tickets. These fees are assessed when tickets are ordered on MyUCLA and are automatically billed through your BAR statement. No refunds are possible. (Students are charged for guest tickets ordered whether or not they are picked up.)




Ticket Ordering Dates

Commencement ticket ordering through MyUCLA begins on Tuesday, April 29 and ends on Wednesday, May 14. You will receive notifications through MyUCLA about these deadlines.




Ticket Pick-Up

College Commencement & Departmental Graduations

Guest tickets should be picked up between Monday, May 19 and Monday, June 2.
