Frequently Asked Questions - TICKETS

  • Is seating assigned or general admission?

    Seating is assigned for all Commencement ceremonies. Upon checkout, the ticket system will assign you the best available seating. The sooner you go online to claim your tickets the better seats you will receive.

  • I need more than 8 tickets. What can I do?

    After the ticket claim deadline, ticketing and Commencement will check to see if there are extra tickets available for your ceremony. If there are extra tickets, an email will be sent out to the Graduates from the CBU Ticketing office, offering these extra tickets on a first come, first served basis. We do not sell extra tickets or have a waiting list. We highly encourage Graduates to ask friends and other students for their extra tickets.
