Guest Tickets

Participating graduates can bring a maximum of two guests to their ceremony. These guests would need a Guest Ticket to enter the venue. For University-wide Sessions, guest tickets are available only to AA medalists and PhD graduates.

As spaces in the hall are limited, guest seats will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. In case of overflow, guests can view a live broadcast from an assigned room nearby.
