The Rausser College of Natural Resources Commencement is a ticketed event. Each attendee (including infants & children) must have a ticket to be admitted to the Hearst Greek Theatre. Student participants do not need tickets for themselves. Tickets are for general admission and do not have assigned seats.
All registered participants will be eligible to pick-up two complimentary tickets. Tickets will be available for pick-up from May 13th-May 15th at the Office of Instruction & Student Affairs (Mulford Hall, Room 260) from 12-4:30pm.

Q: Will the Office of Instruction & Students Affairs mail tickets if a student cannot pick them up?
A: No, the Office of Instruction & Student Affairs will not mail tickets. The student will need to identify someone who can pick up the ticket on your behalf.
