Tickets are required for the SED Convocation, but not limited.

Tentative graduates will receive a mailing with information about picking up tickets in April. There is no charge for tickets.


Commencement Ceremony
Boston University has Commencement and Convocation ceremonies in May only. If you are scheduled to graduate in either September or January, you will be invited to participate in the May ceremonies following your date of graduation. Undergraduate and master's students are allowed to "walk" in May if they have 8 or fewer credits to complete, will complete them during Summer Session, and have filed a petition requesting permission to walk with the SED Student Records Office.
