Ticket Information

May 2012 Commencement Tickets

All candidates for graduation are encouraged to invite their family and friends to help them celebrate this significant milestone and momentous occasion. All family and other guests over the age of two must have a commencement ticket to attend the ceremony.


Who is eligible to participate in commencement exercises?

Students who are candidates for graduation in May 2012 must register with their School or College to participate in Spring commencement ceremonies. This is the only way to receive guest tickets.  Students with questions about how to register to participate in their commencement ceremony should contact their School or College.

Students who register to participate in commencement may claim up to 5 guest tickets (see process below for claiming tickets). Graduating students who are participating in their commencement ceremony do not need a ticket for themselves. 

Each School or College may have additional guest tickets available while quantities last. These tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check your School or College Web site for more information.


How can I claim my guest tickets?

Students who have registered with their School or College to participate in Commencement will receive an e-mail sent to their UT Arlington email account on April 17 at 10:00 a.m. with a confidential username and password and instructions to access the ticket site at www.utagraduationtickets.com. Students with an inactive UT Arlington email account must contact the Office of Information (OIT) Helpdesk at 817-272-2208 for reactivation.

  • From the date that the e-mail is sent until one hour before your commencement ceremony, you will be able to download the designated number of guest tickets at www.utagraduationtickets.com. Please download only the actual number of guest tickets that you will use. Those you do not intend to use may be donated to other graduates through the ticketing Web site (automated).
  • All guest tickets must be claimed and printed in advance. No tickets will be available at the venue.
  • No UT Arlington IDs will be accepted in place of a ticket for admittance.
  • Guests are encouraged to arrive early to ensure proper seating. Doors will open one hour prior to each ceremony and live music will be provided by the UT Arlington Jazz Ensemble.
