May 2019 Commencement Tickets Opens April 22 at 8 AM. Please login to begin your reservation. If you ordered a cap and gown, you have tickets waiting for you that must be claimed/redeemed by May 3. Each graduate will have 6 guests tickets waiting. You can download or email your tickets to your guests. Best Practice: have your guests print out their tickets and bring them to the event. The scanners work better on paper than on mobile devices. Graduates do not need a ticket for entry. Graduates should arrive 90 minutes before the start of the ceremony.  More information is available at www.govst.edu/commencement
