Ticket Math (Fall ceremony only)

How are Commencement tickets distributed?
Here's the breakdown:

Seats in the Weidner                                                             2000

Approx. # grads marching                                                   -   300

Seats available for guests                                                      1700

Seats reserved for guests of speakers
and award recipients                                                           -    65

Handicapped seating (approx.)                                           -     35

Subtotal                                                                                  1600

300 grads x 4 tickets each                                                     - 1200

Extra tickets                                                                              400

400 extra tickets for 300 students

Don’t panic!  We have the ceremony running on closed-circuit monitors in the lobbies on all three levels of the Weidner Center and there is limited seating in those areas (large monitors in the main lobby).  We do want your family and friends to be able to see you graduate, so don’t let a lack of tickets keep them from attending!
