Commencement Tickets
Guest tickets are required for admission to the Commencement Ceremony. Graduates do not need a ticket as they will be seated in a reserved section of the audience by their degree program.
MMC uses an online ticketing system. Students who are cleared by CSS to graduate will receive a
personalized code at Commencement Packet Pickup. That code will be used to gain entry to the
Online Seat Selection platform that opens on April 30, 2026. Graduates with a code can select up to
(8) eight guest seats.
Tickets will be emailed, and guests can enter the United Palace Theatre via scanning on their
mobile device or printing out the tickets beforehand.
Information regarding extra guest tickets will be available in late April.
Venue Security
All guests over the age of (3) three are required to have a ticket. Everyone entering United Palace must go through a security check which includes a magnetometer, wand, and bag search.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: balloons, beach balls, flags, posters, confetti, and any visible political/public messaging.
Directions
We strongly recommend guests use public transportation to the United Palace Theatre as garages and lots fill quickly. Driving directions and parking garages can be found here.
