Commencement

Tickets

Tickets are required to enter the ceremony. Graduates will be emailed their ticket. Graduates are responsible for sending the ticket to their guests. Currently there is no limit on invited guests. Policy is subject to change.

Bag Policies

Graduates may not bring bags onto Francis Olympic Field, as the regalia has pockets for small items. Graduates may bring a water bottle. Please plan accordingly.

For guests, WashU prohibits all bags, backpacks, and other carriers from being brought into the ceremony with the following exceptions:

• Clear bags, not to exceed 14″ x 14″ x 4″
• Small clutches or purses, not to exceed 4″ x 6″
• Medically necessary bags, including diaper bags

All approved bags are subject to inspection upon entry. Guests with bags or items that do not satisfy the bag policy are encouraged to return their bags or items to their vehicle. WashU will not provide clear bags. All attendees, including graduates, will need to go through metal detectors upon entry.
