Order tickets for your guests
You may request up to three guest tickets in your application to graduate. The deadline to request guaranteed guest tickets was February 29.
Due to Fire Code regulations, every guest must have a ticket (including infants).
Extra tickets
Additionally, you may request up to three additional tickets in your application to graduate (by February 29 deadline). Your name will be put on a waiting list for these according to the date of request.
If you receive additional tickets from the ticket waitlist, they will be included in your ticket package which will be distributed in late April/early May through the Campus Store until the store closes on June 12. If extra tickets become available to you later, we will contact you. Unfortunately, not all requests for additional tickets can be accommodated.
Seating and accessibility
The gymnasium will open for guests one hour prior to each ceremony. Bleacher seating is general, and first come, first served. Guests are welcome to bring their own cushion for added comfort. Accessible seating will be available for guests with mobility challenges.
The alternate viewing locations are options for those who are concerned about seating comfort for the two-hour ceremony.
Please contact us at Convocation@viu.ca with any questions.
