TICKETS FOR BACCALAUREATE AND COMMENCEMENT

 

Every graduate will receive 2 tickets to Baccalaureate (Thursday nightÕs Mass in the Cathedral), and 10 tickets to Commencement (Sunday afternoonÕs ceremony in Abravanel Hall).  Tickets will be given to graduates along with their caps and gowns on Monday, May 19. Baccalaureate is a solemn and intimate liturgy intended for graduates and their parents.  There is not enough seating for siblings and extended family members.   Graduates who have more than two parents or guardians may request an additional Baccalaureate ticket, which does not guarantee a seat but only admission for standing room, by following the procedure outlined below. Commencement is held in a much larger setting, so graduates may request six or more additional tickets.

 

TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL TICKETS, the graduate or his or her parent or guardian should send an email to graduation@judgememorial.com, beginning on March 14 (the email address will not be open until that date).   This email must include:

 

  1. GraduateÕs name
  2. RequesterÕs name and email address
  3. Ceremony for which extra tickets are desired
  4. (for Baccalaureate only) Name of the person who will be using the additional ticket, and his or her relationship to graduate (e.g. stepfather).
  5. Number of additional tickets requested

 

Requesters will receive an auto-reply stating that their tickets have been reserved (one for Baccalaureate or up to six for Commencement).  Requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis as long as extra tickets are available.

 

If all extra tickets have been reserved, requesters will receive notice that their request has not been honored, but has been placed on a waiting list.  If extra tickets to either ceremony are still available after May 12, then requests BEYOND the 1 extra Baccalaureate or 6 for Commencement will be considered, and requesters will be notified by email.  You donÕt need to send a second email in May; If you requested more than one Baccalaureate or six Commencement tickets in your original email, those beyond the limit will be placed on a waiting list to be reviewed after May 12.  Extra tickets will be given along with the automatic number of tickets (2 Baccalaureate, 10 Commencement) to the graduate at the Monday, May 19 practice.
