Ticket Orders

The e-ticket system is now live! You can book your tickets through the Box Office website: acadiau.universitytickets.com. Tickets must be booked by the student who 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, you can initially order a maximum of two (2) tickets. Please ensure you select the correct ceremony when booking your tickets:

• Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 10 a.m.
  Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Theology

• Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 2:30 p.m.
  Faculty of Pure and Applied Science

• Friday, May 17, 2024, at 10 a.m.

There are two (2) more ticket release dates coming up, and will also be announced by email:

• Thursday, April 4, 2024 - an additional four (4) tickets will be available for each graduating student to book
• Thursday, April 18, 2024 - an additional four (4) tickets will be available for each graduating student to book

Additional tickets will be available on a first come first served basis. Should you wish to book more than ten (10) tickets, please send a special request to convocation@acadiau.ca. Any ticket orders received after April 18 will be processed based on remaining tickets.

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.
