Ceremony Tickets
All ceremonies are ticketed events and tickets can only be claimed by the graduating student.
We've outlined the process for submitting an RSVP and claiming tickets below.
Ceremony Invitatation
Ceremony invitations are sent to mylaurier.ca email accounts mid-spring for June ceremonies and late summer for October/November ceremonies. Invitations contain detailed instructions on how to RSVP and claim guest tickets.
Round One Tickets
Guest ticket allotments in Round One are based on venue capacity, class size and application numbers. Graduates are eligible to claim up to two tickets in Round One.
Be sure to read the details provided in the communications and posted in the convocation portal carefully as restrictions and deadlines apply. Guest tickets are no longer guaranteed after the close of Round One.
Round Two Tickets
In the days following the close of Round One, staff will evaluate the availability of unclaimed tickets based on graduate participation and the number of guest tickets claimed to date. Information about a second release of guest tickets (only if available) will be sent via mylaurier email accounts to those who have completed a transaction in the convocation portal.
Student tickets continue to be available in Round Two, though guest tickets are no longer guaranteed.
Final Release
Staff will conduct a review of all ticket orders approximately one week before ceremonies. At this time, there will be a final release of all available unclaimed tickets. Similar to Round Two, a message will be sent to mylaurier email accounts, if available.
Please do not submit email requests for additional tickets as such messages will not receive a response.
