Commencement 2026

Due to occupancy restrictions, tickets are required for the Commencement Ceremony. Ten (10) tickets are available for each graduate and will be distributed when caps and gowns are collected.

Beginning April 20, graduates may request additional tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Only graduates with Batten University email addresses can access the form. There are no guarantees additional tickets will be available.

Students must submit the Commencement Fee (includes regalia) by March 13, 2026. Students who miss this deadline will not participate in the ceremony but will still be listed in the program.

Graduates may also contribute to the Graduate Giving Package to receive a coastal blue philanthropy cord, a Batten University alumni t-shirt, and their name on the Graduation Celebration wall.

Graduate announcements may be purchased through the University Store website. The University Store in Batten Plaza will be open on Commencement Day. Diploma frames, apparel, and other memorabilia will be available.

GradImages provides photographs of each graduate who crosses the dais. Photos may be purchased at gradimages.com (graduates receive 20% off when they pre-register). Questions: 800.261.2576 or ecc.giservice@gradimages.net.

Candid photography will be available on the University Flickr page. An archived video will be available through the Batten University Digital Broadcasting Network.
