Guest Tickets
Guests do NOT need tickets to attend Commencement.
What if it Rains?
In case of inclement weather, we will hold the main ceremony inside McDonough Arena. Due to the limited size of that space, each graduate will be allowed one (1) guest (checked in under the graduate’s name). The decision to move to the rain location will be made by 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. We will send out an email and HOYA alert (text) letting you know the decision. Students, family, and friends can also follow Law Center Commencement activities online, including live webcasts.
Parking
Parking around Main Campus is very limited. You may park in the Southwest Quadrangle garage (no charge) or behind Lauinger Library in Lot 9. Please visit the Commencement Travel and Parking website for more details.
COVID-19 Policy
To protect the health and safety of the Georgetown University community and our guests, all attendees at indoor Commencement events are expected to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccination or have a medical or religious exemption, though guests will not need to show proof of vaccination or exemption during Commencement. If you are unvaccinated, please take a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours prior to attending any indoor Commencement event and stay home if you receive a positive test result.
