Ordering Additional Reception Guest Tickets (with complimentary livestream venue access): We understand that your graduation is a significant celebration of your achievements.
Due to the seating capacity of Winthrop Hall, each graduand is allocated two (2) guest tickets. These complimentary guest tickets include entry to Winthrop Hall for the ceremony, and entry to the post-ceremony Reception with entertainment and refreshment service.

If you wish to share the day with more of your friends and family, you have the option to purchase up to four (4) additional Reception tickets through the GFP online ordering portal.

A limited number of tickets for Winthrop Hall may become available due to the reallocation of tickets resulting from late cancellations.
