Commencement Tickets

Registered candidates do not require a ticket to attend.

All registered candidates are permitted to invite up to two guests to attend their designated ceremony. Due to capacity restrictions and the graduating class size, there will be no extra tickets distributed.

To receive your two guest tickets, you must have successfully completed the Applied to Graduate form and registered for Commencement on SOLAR.

Only registered candidates can access tickets. Tickets can be printed or scanned from a mobile device. Each ticket contains a unique barcode and duplicate tickets will not scan or provide entry into the Ceremony. Violations are subject to disciplinary action. 

For those who are unable to physically attend are welcomed to view via a live webcast at  www.stonybrook.edu/live (This link will not go live until the actual scheduled events.)

Candidates and guests will be required to provide proof of recent COVID-19 testing or vaccination before being allowed in the stadium and must bring a photo ID. Masks are required, please review our mandatory entry requirements.
