If anyone needs special seating (disabled or elderly guests), please contact our main office at 510-642-0108 between 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Participating graduates do not need a ticket for themselves, but everyone else does. (Tickets are $6 each. )There are no limits on the number of tickets you can buy. Sales begin Tuesday, April 3rd at the Zellerbach box office and can be made by check, cash or credit card. Unless we sell out there will be sales at the Greek on May 17th. You can also buy them online for a small additional fee. We have sold out in the past, so don't put this off!

The ASUC has everything you need-caps & gowns, announcements, etc. Check out "caps and gowns" on the Cal Student Store site or stop by the Graduation section near Textbooks

You will fill out a name card when you arrive at the Greek so that when you cross the stage to receive your diploma the faculty member at the podium can read out your name. A professional photographer will take pictures of all the graduates. If you want to order the photographs taken of you that day be sure to include your email information on the back of the name card.

If you are completing your coursework this semester, are on the current degree list, and are not notified by L&S that there is a problem, you should expect to graduate. "No news is good news," as no one will tell you that you have graduated. Graduation won't be official until early September. If you need proof beforehand, you can contact the Registrar's office mid-June for a Certificate of Completion. Diplomas are mailed to graduates' permanent addresses approximately 3-4 months after completion of all courses. Please check the Office of the Registrar site to make sure that it gets to you. http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Default.aspx?PageID=diplomas.html
