As you prepare for this exciting milestone, please review the important ticketing information below for the upcoming Commencement ceremony:
Ticket Allocation
- Each graduate may claim six tickets for guests.
- Tickets are required for all guests, regardless of age.
- Graduates themselves do not need a ticket for entry.
- Indicating you would like additional tickets is not a guarantee that additional tickets will be assigned.
How to Access Your Tickets
- Tickets will be distributed through the ceremony registration portal (Tassel).
- You will receive an email with instructions on how to claim your tickets beginning 03/23/26 from iup-commencement@tassel.iup.edu.
Transferring or Printing Tickets
- Tickets may be downloaded, printed, or displayed on a mobile device.
- If you wish to share tickets with guests, you may forward the digital tickets directly to them.
- Each ticket contains a unique barcode and may be scanned only once.
Additional Tickets

- If you do not need all six tickets, only claim the number of guest tickets needed. Unclaimed tickets will be placed into a random lottery pool for graduates who indicate they would like additional tickets.
- If additional tickets become available, we will notify all graduates via email so they may claim them in the registration portal. Tickets may be claimed after registration has closed.
