Yes, you must wear the cap and gown to participate as a graduate in commencement and convocation. It is expected that graduates participating in any of the graduation ceremonies will comply with the BYU Honor Code which includes the Dress and Grooming standards. However, you may attend commencement and convocation as an audience member without wearing the cap and gown.
To maintain the dignity of the graduation services, graduates are requested not to alter or embellish the cap (mortarboard) or gown. It is not appropriate.
“Stoles of Gratitude,” leis, or honors regalia are appropriate accessories to the basic cap and gown.
Tickets are required.
Students graduating December 2019, April 2020, June 2020 or August 2020 will receive four tickets per graduate for the April 2020 Commencement Ceremony. Tickets may be claimed beginning at 10:00 am on March 30th at byutickets.com. Please claim your tickets by the 21st of April. Due to limited capacity, tickets do not guarantee a seat in the Marriott Center. Please note, this event requires tickets for ages 2 and older.
A standby line will be available at the Northeast corner of the BYU Marriott Center for those wishing to have additional guests (beyond four) attend Commencement. Standby guests will be admitted on a space-available basis beginning 15 to 30 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony. Rather than wait in the standby line to get into the Marriott Center, additional guests may prefer to go directly to one of the following overflow sites to view Commencement remotely from a large screen: the Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni and Visitors Center, the de Jong Concert Hall or Pardoe Theater in the Franklin S. Harris Fine Arts Center, or the Varsity Theater in the Wilkinson Student Center. Tickets are not required at our overflow sites.
For special needs seating, please contact the Special Events Office at (801) 422-6022 for assistance.
For questions regarding commencement tickets, please contact the BYU Ticket Office at (801) 422-2981(BYU1).
