Tickets
Tickets are not required for commencement. Graduates have reserved seating on the floor and will process into the gymnasium in order of degrees awarded. Graduates must be on time, in line, and dressed in their academic regalia or they cannot participate in the graduate procession. For questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@kings.edu.
Photography and Video
King’s College hires Island Photography to take professional portraits of graduates as they receive their degree and as soon as they come off stage. Students will be provided with information about how to review proofs and purchase photos following the ceremony. Please note only professional photographers and media with appropriate credentials are allowed near the stage to take photographs or video. King’s College will record the live stream for archival purposes.
Who Can Participate
Participating in commencement activities does not automatically mean a student has graduated, as they must officially complete their degree requirements first. Generally, all students must have successfully completed their degree requirements and coursework by the end of the summer semester in August in order to participate in the ceremony.
