Tickets

COMMENCEMENT 2025 TICKETS

Ticket quantities per ceremony completely depends on the number of graduates who sign up for that ceremony and space available in the venue.

Ticket allotment per ceremony will be posted in March 2025. Graduates will be able to claim tickets for their guests in March 2025.

BE AWARE OF TICKET SCAMS:

Commencement tickets that Binghamton University provides are completely free of charge for students to claim. The only valid way to claim tickets is through the link provided on this webpage or by the Commencement Office. Tickets acquired through any other avenue will not scan at the door.

TICKETS FOR CHILDREN:

Children ages 3 and under who will sit on their guardian's lap do not require a ticket. Children age 4 and above require a ticket.

EXTRA TICKETS

We are no longer able to distribute extra tickets due to capacity limitations at all ceremonies.


INTERNATIONAL GUESTS

 If your family needs to apply for a visa in order to attend the Commencement ceremony, you as the student can write a letter of invitation. Be sure to include:

  • Your name, the reason for living in the U.S. and current immigration status (likely F-1 or J-1)
  • The names of your family members who wish to visit, an explanation of the purpose of their visit and how long they expect to stay
  • A copy of your I20’s/DS-2019, if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you require confirmation of Commencement dates on University Letterhead, visit the ISSS Forms webpage and find the “Invitation to Graduation” form under “Letters of Support.”

If you still have questions regarding international guests, please contact International Student and Scholar Services at isss@binghamton.edu.

CEREMONIES ARE LIVESTREAMED

If family/friends cannot make your ceremony, be sure to have them tune in live. Every ceremony will be live streamed and accessible from the Binghamton University YouTube Channel.
