There will be a shipping option for those who are unable to attend Cap and Gown Days.

Electronic Tickets

Each participating graduation candidate will receive an email from commencement@aurora.edu on Friday, March 22, with instructions on how to access their electronic guest tickets. Each participating graduate will receive 6 guest tickets.

• Guests can bring tickets in paper or electronic form.
• Due to limited seating, there are no additional tickets available.

Graduation Survey

A survey link will be sent to your AU email account in mid-March. All graduation candidates are required to complete this brief survey. This information will help AU better serve students and alumni in their career-planning activities and is an important step in completing your graduation requirements. You must complete the graduation survey before picking up your cap and gown.
