SPECIAL NOTE: You must print your tickets prior to arriving at the Center. Tickets will not be printed at the door.  All guests must have a ticket to enter the MAC Center. Each ticket is unique and cannot be scanned twice.

SPECIAL NEEDS TICKETS: If you have requested reserved seating for guests with special needs, University Ceremonies will reserve seating for your guest and one person to accompany them.  Please instruct your guests to arrive one hour prior to the start of ceremony; they will need to see an usher wearing a gold name tag. The usher will then direct them to their seat. Please note that once the ceremony begins, reserved seats will not be guaranteed.

Doors will open one hour and thirty minutes prior to the start of the ceremony and will close once capacity has been reached.
