Guest Tickets

Depending on the class size, every graduate will receive complimentary tickets for their guests. Graduates will receive an email in March regarding the quantity of tickets to be released and they will need to be requested by April.

All guests must have a ticket to attend commencement ceremonies to help ensure that each guest has a seat for this special event, except for children who do not require their own seats. If you have any questions regarding your graduation status, please contact your graduation counselor.

Requesting Tickets

Tickets will be available to claim to the graduates starting in March 2025 through April 2025. Complimentary tickets for guests will only be released to graduates.

Additional Tickets

Extra tickets may become available on a first-come-first-served basis in April if there are open seats. Tickets will be $20 per ticket and can only be purchased by the graduate. Please check back in April. Contact tickets@biola.edu if you have any questions.

Entry Requirements and Guest Seating

All guests must have a ticket to enter the ceremony area. You are responsible for ensuring your guests have received the tickets you claimed.
Tickets will be scanned for entrance and are ceremony specific. Your guests are required to have a printed or digital copy of their ticket. Each ticket is unique and cannot be used more than once.
Children who do not require their own seat are not required to have their own ticket.
Will call is available at the information booth to reprint or hold tickets on the day of commencement. You may leave tickets at the information booth on the day of commencement for guests to pick up. Please enclose the tickets in a labeled envelope for ease of distribution.
All seating is on a first come, first ushered basis. Tickets do not reserve a specific seat.
For those unable to attend, a live internet feed of the ceremonies will be available from the Biola Commencement homepage.
