Attendance and Ticketing

We look forward to celebrating this year’s commencement with family and friends in attendance. Please be aware, however, that the commencement ceremony is a ticketed event with limited capacity.

Tickets will be distributed via email to each graduate’s Juilliard email address in the days leading up to the ceremony, and graduates are responsible for sharing these tickets with their invited guests.
