As a reminder, students are eligible for two ceremonies, their college commencement ceremony and major department ceremony (if you are pursing a minor you might want to ask if you can participate in their commencement). There are two separate ordering timeframes for the ceremonies. Ordering for the college commencement is first then, the following weekend ordering for your department ceremony begins. Be sure to complete your senior survey prior to ordering tickets as it’s a requirement to gain access to the ticket ordering portal. Ticket order is done through myUCLA by going to the Academics tab and selecting Commencement.
