Ticket Orders - Release #2

You can now add up to four (4) additional tickets to your booking through the Box Office website: acadiau.universitytickets.com.

Tickets must be booked by the student that is graduating and need to be booked using their Acadia email address.

Please note, graduating students do not themselves require a ticket to their convocation – but guests (family and friends) do.

Due to limited seating in Convocation Hall, ticket release #2 will allow you to reserve up to six (6) tickets in total. Please ensure you select the correct ceremony when booking your tickets:

• May 14, 2023, at 3 p.m.
  Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Theology, and the School of Education

• May 15, 2023, at 10 a.m.
  Faculty of Pure and Applied Science

• May 15, 2023, at 2:30 p.m.
  Faculty of Professional Studies (School of Kinesiology, Community Development, School of Music, Business Administration)

If you need more than six (6) tickets, a final ticket release (Release #3) will go live on Monday, April 10, and will allow you to reserve up to ten (10) tickets in total. Additional tickets will be available on a first come first served basis. If you require more than ten (10) tickets, you can make a special request by emailing convocation@acadiau.ca. Any ticket orders received after April 10 will be processed based on remaining tickets.

There will be an alternate viewing location on campus where the ceremonies are being streamed live. Guests can view the ceremony in the K. C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Auditorium and meet their graduate for the reception in Fountain Learning Commons following the ceremony. Tickets are not required for these locations.

A live stream will also be available to view online in real-time, and the ceremony will be uploaded to the convocation website after convocation takes place.

If you have any questions related to tickets, please email the Box Office directly at box.office@acadiau.ca or call (902) 542-5500. The Box Office is open 12-6 p.m. Monday – Friday, and 1-4 p.m. Saturday.

For other convocation-related questions, please email convocation@acadiau.ca or call the Convocation Hotline: 902-585-1083.
