What to know about commencement ceremonies at Temple

Masking will be optional during Temple University’s 135th commencement ceremony.

In May, Temple University graduating seniors have the opportunity to attend the university’s 135th commencement ceremony and their individual school or college’s graduation ceremony. 

Graduates are allowed four guest tickets for the university-wide commencement ceremony while ticketing for individual college commencement ceremonies depends on the school. 

To avoid traffic and congestion, Temple encourages individuals to carpool to commencement ceremonies. Parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis with each school and college offering its own designated parking area. Each graduate is encouraged to use their complimentary parking pass, found in their graduation packet, and assigned parking space. 

Graduates and guests can use the campus map to find accessible parking and entrances for buildings around campus. 

Following the City of Philadelphia, Temple removed its mask mandate for most indoor spaces on April 22, meaning masks will be optional at commencement ceremonies. 

With ceremonies set to begin in more than a week, here is a list of locations and times for each ceremony and other information for graduates or their guests.
