Ceremony Information

Complimentary Tickets Required

The commencement ceremony is held in the Benson Auditorium and will be live streamed at streaming.harding.edu. Tickets are required for all guest seating.

In order to allow all graduates and families to celebrate, there is a limit of 10 (TEN) tickets per graduate. We do ask that you coordinate with your family before ordering tickets to determine any accessibility needs and ensure orders are not duplicated. If you need more than ten tickets, please contact the box office at tickethelp@harding.edu or 501-279-5777. We anticipate having plenty of space for everyone who wishes to attend in person, but we will likely utilize the entire auditorium and need to begin with a limited number of seating per graduate. 

In order to ensure everyone needing accessibility accommodations can be assisted, we ask that you consider having some of your friends and family, who are physically capable, sit in the balcony as there is no elevator access to balcony seating. If you find that you have more tickets than your family will use, you may return them by contacting 501-279-5777.

Tickets will be available to graduates late-October to early-November.
