The family and friends of Columbia's
graduates are an integral part of the Commencement celebration.
After spring break, each degree candidate will receive tickets to the University Commencement ceremony for family and guests. We hope to provide four tickets to each graduate. Degree candidates do not need tickets themselves, but must carry their Columbia ID to enter campus. All Commencement tickets are distributed directly to students through their individual schools. Please check the individual school's Web site for further information. If you are a degree candidate and would like additional tickets, we suggest that you ask your fellow graduates if they have any to spare as many students do not need all tickets provided. Please understand that impressive number of graduates and the spatial constraints of campus necessitate these limitations. |
