Class of 2021 students who graduate from the University of Virginia next month – and those who earned degrees as members of the Class of 2020 – learned this week how the ticketing process will work for this year’s unique ceremonies.
In short, this year will function quite differently from other Final Exercises, and it’s critically important for students and their guests to know the details and requirements to ensure they and their guests are able to attend an in-person session.
Here a few key points and reminders, courtesy of UVA’s Office of Major Events. For details about which days and times ceremonies will occur and other event information, visit the Final Exercises site.
Q. Are tickets required for Final Exercises?
A. Yes. Graduates from the Classes of 2020 and 2021 must have a ticket to enter Scott Stadium. Each student may invite up to two guests to attend their assigned, individual Final Exercises ceremony, at which their degree will be conferred. All guests also must have tickets to enter Scott Stadium.
Q. How do students reserve their tickets and the tickets for their guests?
A. Tickets will be offered through the UVAShots.com system that has provided tickets for Virginia basketball, baseball, soccer and lacrosse games this year. Students who have not previously used UVAShots.com can register here. Anyone encountering problems accessing their UVAShots.com account or creating an account, should contact uvatickets@virginia.edu. The Athletics Ticket Office is prepared to help students having difficulty with accounts.
