Tickets

Guest Tickets

Every graduate will receive complimentary tickets for their guests. Graduates will receive an email on March 26 with the link to claim their tickets at 10 a.m. The number of tickets released is subject to how many students are graduating per ceremony. Tickets are ceremony specific and can not be duplicated or shared for a different ceremony. Each person (not including the graduate) will need a ticket for entry.

All guests must have a ticket to attend commencement ceremonies to help ensure that each guest has a seat for this special event, except for children who do not require their own seats. If you have any questions regarding your graduation status, please contact your graduation counselor.

Requesting Tickets

Tickets are available to claim by the graduates only. There will be an allotted amount of complimentary tickets reserved for each approved graduate. Please contact tickets@biola.edu after March 26, 2026 if you have not claimed your complimentary tickets. Students have until May 4 to claim them.

Additional Tickets

If there are available tickets for each ceremony, an email will be sent out to the student after all tickets have been claimed to be purchased at $20 each.

If you do not have a ticket, we invite you to celebrate with us by tuning into the live stream on the day of the ceremony.

We’re looking forward to a memorable celebration!
