Convocation Ticket Information
Obtaining and Managing Your Tickets
General Ticket Information
This year the University is requiring that the College of Business Convocation Ceremony be a ticketed event as we anticipate a larger turnout than usual. To help manage attendance, each graduating student who registers for the ceremony will receive 3 guest tickets. Graduating students do not require a ticket, however you must be dressed in academic regalia (cap and gown).
There is no charge for tickets.
For the College of Business ceremony, graduates who have registered for the CoB ceremony will receive an email in early May with directions on how to download their tickets. At that time, graduates will have the option to join a waitlist for 1 additional ticket.
If you have a need for more than 4 tickets, please complete this form. If there are extra tickets after the waitlist tickets are claimed, we may be accommodate these requests. We are not guaranteeing that we will have extra tickets.
Tickets are transferrable, meaning after you receive your tickets, if you decide you do not need them all, you can give them to another graduate.
Please note: All guests must have a ticket to enter the Stony Brook Arena. There will be no stand-by line for entry. Guests without tickets will be directed to Frey Hall, where the ceremony will be livestreamed in designated lecture halls. Children under a year old will not require a ticket.
