Reporting for Commencement
Important information for when to be where on Commencement day. More.
Commencement: June 7, 2013
Each graduate to be awarded a degree at the Commencement Exercises is allotted four(4) guest tickets. No additional tickets are available. An admission ticket is required for each guest in the seating area, including children three (3) years of age or older.
Students may join the Moira list reuse-tickets@mit.edu to communicate with one another regarding Commencement tickets. While the Institute encourages students to share unneeded tickets, graduates and guests are advised that no tickets to Commencement at MIT may be bought or sold under any circumstances. The list reuse-tickets@mit.edu is administered by the senior class council. For more about Moira lists, please see the IS&T website.
Tickets to the Exercises will be issued to degree recipients upon presentation of a regalia rental or purchase receipt along with a MIT or other photograph identification card. The only exception to the regalia receipt requirement is for candidates in active military service, who wear the dress uniforms for their branches of the Service, rather than academic regalia.
