What time is my ceremony?
Tickets
There will not be any physical or digital tickets given out to graduating students for these ceremonies. You do not need to make a reservation or provide a list of guests. Your guests will simply enter the venue. We trust our students to adhere to the guest limit.
- Each graduating participant is allowed up to six (6) guests.
- Children 2 years of age or younger will not be counted as one of the six (6) guests; however, they must sit on the lap of a guest.
- The Venue will allow graduating students and guests to enter 1 hour before their ceremony.
The University of Houston-Victoria does not offer any guest tickets for sale. Additional guest requests will not be granted due to class size and venue seating constraints.
Live Stream
For guests that are unable to attend the commencement ceremonies in person, each ceremony will be live streamed on the commencement home page. The stream will start a few minutes before each ceremony.

Jaguar Class Ring
An initiative that was three years in the making, UHV unveiled its official class ring during its 2017 Homecoming. Led by SGA, the class ring was designed by students working in conjunction with staff and administrators. For more information on the Jaguar ring and how to purchase one, please visit Student Involvement's Traditions page. During the spring semester, a ceremony is held for students who have earned their class ring. The ring is a source of pride and accomplishment, and an identifier of UHV alumni.
