On Wednesday, April 16, Commencement ticket distribution will begin at the Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center. Tickets are free to graduates.

Tickets will only be given to those students who have completed the Commencement Intent to Participate form on Your Connection. Access to that form is given after a student has submitted a Degree Application to the Registrar's Office. On the form, students had the ability to select up to 4 tickets, and request up to 4 additional tickets. Students can only make this selection one time. The final deadline to complete the form to receive tickets and participate in the ceremony is Wednesday, May 14.

Ticket office hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Students must bring valid photo ID, FREDcards are preferred. Tickets will only be given to students, not family members. All tickets will be distributed at that time (original tickets and extras).

The ticket office will also have extended hours to distribute tickets to those students for whom it is difficult to come in during regular office hours: they include Wednesday, April 30, from 3 to 6 p.m., and Saturday, May 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The number of tickets available for both ceremonies will be based on the legal and safe seating capacity for the fieldhouse. The university reserves the right to limit the number of tickets distributed for each ceremony.
