TICKET DISTRIBUTION takes place from Tuesday of Week 9 through Thursday, June 13, 2024. The Central Ticket Office (CTO) sends the tickets via email messages from cto@tickets.ucla.edu. Their messages contain the links for you to receive your electronic tickets. Please be sure to check that your email account is accurate in MyUCLA, and also check your email account’s SPAM folder frequently, to be sure you do not overlook these important messages. For the College Commencement, you will receive two messages: One with the link to receive your graduate ticket and the other with the link to receive your guest tickets. You need BOTH messages, so look for both messages both in your email box and in your SPAM folder. You will receive your department or professional school ceremony tickets in a separate set of email messages.
