You can now request up to ten (10) tickets to your booking through the Box Office website: acadiau.universitytickets.com. Tickets are limited, and available a first come, first-served basis.
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. Don’t forget to forward your e-tickets to your guests!
Due to limited seating in Convocation Hall, Ticket Release #3 will allow you to request up to ten (10) tickets in total.

If you require more than ten (10) tickets, you can make a special request by emailing convocation@acadiau.ca. Any ticket orders received 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.
