The University wants to provide a positive experience for you and your guests at the Spring Commencement Ceremonies on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24. Due to large graduating classes in all of the college ceremonies, and over capacity crowds in the past, we must limit guest seating in Ortmayer Athletics Complex (stadium) so that we can provide ample seating, rest facilities, parking, and other services. Admittance tickets for guest seating is required for the the following ceremonies: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Public Management, and the College of Education and Organizational Leadership. Each graduating student participating in a ceremony is allowed a maximum of (10) guest admittance tickets.

Important:Separate information on guests tickets for the College of Law and the Ed.D. ceremonies will be sent out by the Colleges of these programs for ceremonies and other related events.

Beginning Monday, May 5th, the following sites will begin to distribute guest admittance tickets for the Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24 ceremonies for the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Public Management, and the College of Education and Organizational Leadership.

Guest Admittance Ticket Distribution Guidelines - Instructions

Candidates participating in a ceremony are entitled to receive up to (10) official ULV guest admittance tickets for family and friends. As a confirmed candidate, your name will be on an official list. Important: Candidates must complete the Student Participation Form prior to picking up guest admittance tickets.
Every person requiring a seat will need a guest admittance ticket. The rule of thumb is that children two and under will sit on an adult's lap and therefore will not need a ticket. Children three and older will require their own chair, and therefore their own ticket.
The University will not distribute extra tickets. We encourage students that might need extra guest tickets to check with classmates that won't utilize all of their tickets.

Please Note: Seating is on a first-come first-serve basis basis in chairs on the field and in the bleachers. .

Important: We encourage students that might need extra tickets to check with classmates that are not planning on attending or utilizing all of their tickets.

Please Note: In past years we have had students who have reproduced extra guest admittance tickets for sale and or distribution. The University of La Verne will not permit reproduction and or sales of admittance tickets. Those who present reproduced tickets will not be allowed entrance to the Ceremony.
