Events Tickets
The family and friends of Columbia's graduates are an integral part of the Commencement celebration. Each degree candidate will receive four tickets to the University Commencement ceremony for guests. Degree candidates do not need tickets themselves, but must carry their Columbia Card ID to enter campus. All Commencement tickets are distributed directly to students through their individual schools. If you are a degree candidate and would like to obtain more tickets, we suggest that you ask your fellow graduates if they have any to spare. Many students do not need all four tickets. Please understand that the space constraints of our campus and the impressive number of graduates necessitate these limitations. |
