Guest Tickets
Renting regalia through the Jostens website or through the SF State Bookstore will qualify you to receive up seven (7) Commencement tickets. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the SF State Bookstore beginning May 9, 2025. Please bring your SFSU student ID card and copy of your Jostens 2025 SFSU regalia rental e-receipt.
You can have someone else pick-up your tickets or regalia if needed. Have them bring a copy of your student ID and regalia order confirmation to the SF State Bookstore ticket pick-up and let the staff there know you are picking up on a graduating student’s behalf.
Graduates do not need a ticket to enter as long as you are wearing SF State regalia. All guests need a ticket with the exception of children younger than two years old.
