Ticket Information
After a student registers to participate in Commencement through Tassel, they will be prompted to claim their guest tickets. Students can access and manage their tickets through the Tassel platform.
Each participating graduate will receive a designated number of guest tickets for their ceremony. Once tickets are available, the student can access their tickets through their Tassel account and send or share the tickets with their guests electronically. Guests can then present their digital or printed ticket when arriving at the ceremony for admission.
Ceremony Instructions
Plan to arrive one hour before your ceremony begins to allow enough time for parking, check-in, and preparation.
If you are being dropped off, you may be dropped off at the front of the Convocation Center. If you plan to drive, please park in the Nighthawk Ridge parking lot (Lot 64). Shuttles will run continuously between Nighthawk Ridge and the Convocation Center.
After checking in, please proceed to the seating area designated for your college. You are welcome to talk with friends, take photos, and mingle with your fellow graduates before the ceremony begins.
Note: Be sure that your cell phone is turned off or silenced for the duration of the ceremony.
Following the ceremony, graduates will exit the Convocation Center and may meet their family and guests outside.
Regalia
Graduation regalia includes the cap and gown, as well as other distinguishing hoods, stoles and cords that denote traditions of academic achievement. Learn more about ordering and the rules surrounding regalia and other graduation products at UNG Bookstore.
