Each candidate is guaranteed four (4) tickets for the Winter Commencement. Unused commencement tickets may not be bought or sold.  Buying, selling, or otherwise obtaining tickets outside of the established ticket distribution process is prohibited and may result in disciplinary action by the University.  Please return any unused tickets to the Office of the Registrar, Room 45, Hovde Hall, 610 Purdue Mall, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2040 so that they may be redistributed to candidates.

Extra Tickets

Extra tickets are not guaranteed but are subject to seating availability.  Extra tickets can be requested using the online request form.  Once the number of available seats have been established on or around December 10, the Office of the Registrar will conduct a random selection to distribute tickets.  Notifications will be sent to the candidate’s Purdue e-mail address once the selections have been made.
