Registration and Tickets

Registration

Graduating students who plan to attend commencement need to register through the Marching Order website to secure a Grad Pass for themselves and tickets for their allotted guests. The university anticipates the registration process for the Winter Commencement will begin by the end of the day on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Invitations to register will be sent to eligible student’s university email accounts. The deadline to register for the 2025 Winter Commencement is Tuesday, December 17, 2024.

Guest Tickets

Guest tickets are required for admission to commencement. Each ceremony has its own specific ticket allotment based on the estimated number of graduating students and the capacity of the venue. Graduating students will be able to reserve tickets for their guests to attend the 2025 Winter Commencement beginning on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Ticket allotment information for the 2025 Winter Commencement will be announced before the ticketing process begins on Thursday, October 31, 2024. We encourage our graduating students to continue to check their university email account regularly. 

 Guest tickets and Grad Passes will be distributed to graduating student's university email account the Tuesday prior to the ceremony.* Children under the age of 2 who will sit on the lap of an adult during the entire ceremony do not require a ticket. All other guests will need a ticket to attend the ceremony.

*Tickets are not guaranteed, and the event is subject to change. 

Waitlist Requests

The university may be able to offer additional guest tickets through a waitlist process. When registering on the Marching Order website, graduating students will be able to indicate if they would like to be considered for additional guest tickets, if more become available. The university does not guarantee additional tickets will become available. The waitlist opportunity depends on the number of guests and graduating student tickets reserved. If additional tickets are released to those on the waitlist, this will not take place until a few weeks prior to the ceremony. We do not accept email requests for additional tickets.

Cancellations

Once the registration process begins in Marching Order, if you need to change or cancel your registration or any of your guest tickets, please log on to the Marching Order website to edit your registration form. If you have any trouble or you are cancelling after the registration deadline has passed, please email commencement@umassglobal.edu.
