Commencement Tickets

Every attending graduate may reserve up to 5 guest tickets. A waitlist is available for up to 5 additional guest tickets (max of 10, excluding graduate). Waitlist tickets are not guaranteed and are dependent upon how many initial tickets are reserved. If you have a smaller family, we kindly request you limit your initial number of tickets so we can make more available to larger families.

For anyone not able to get a ticket, the event will be livestreamed.

Caps and Gowns

Caps and Gowns will be available the week before commencement at the registrar's office on campus. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you pick-up your cap and gown in advance, so you have time to steam or iron it prior to the ceremony. While there will be a steamer available in each of the men's and women's dressing rooms, there will not be time or capacity for more than a handful of graduates.

RSVP for the 2023 Commencement is closed. Please reach out to cbrown@usv.edu if you have any questions.
