Register to attend a ceremony

Graduating students who wish to participate in graduation ceremonies must register for ceremonies. All ASU graduation ceremonies require registrations. 

Only working staff, graduating students and authorized guests are allowed in the graduate and staff entry points, or on the floor or field near graduate seating and the stage. This restriction applies to Gammage Auditorium, Desert Financial Arena, Mountain America Stadium or other ceremony venues.

Graduation ceremonies include

• Graduate Commencement
• Undergraduate Commencement
• College convocations
• Special interest convocations 

A registration submitted by the deadline of November 12, 2024, at 11:59 p.m.:

• Guarantees a seat for the graduate
• Guarantees seats/tickets for a graduate’s guests
• Guarantees the graduate receives all benefits and ceremony-specific items provided by the ceremony

Applying to Graduate vs. registering for a ceremony

Applying for graduation and registering to attend in-person graduation ceremonies are separate but related issues. Applying and paying your graduation fee ensures that your degree will be processed after coursework is complete and certification of your degree is issued. Registering for attendance at ceremonies ensures that seating will be made available for you and your guests for the event(s) you will attend. It also ensures tickets will be reserved for those events that require tickets.
