Important: Golden 1 Center is now a paperless venue

All tickets must be on a scannable mobile device when entering the arena.

Below are some tips for mobile devices related to ticket-scanning:

  1. Take a screenshot of your QR Code so you do not have to search your emails at the time of the event.
  2. Turn the brightness of your phone screen all the way up when QR Code is being scanned.
  3. If phone screen is cracked, screenshot the QR Code and send it to another member of your party.
  4. Zoom into the QR code so it takes up the majority of your screen.

Livestreaming (with closed captioning)

The University will livestream each ceremony so that family and friends can view their graduate’s recognition from anywhere. On May 19 - 21, the feed will be live on the Commencement Homepage.
