Guest Tickets
Renting regalia through the Jostens website or through the Bookstore will qualify you to receive up seven (7) Commencement tickets. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the San Francisco State University Bookstore beginning Friday, May 9, 2025. Please bring your SFSU student ID card and be prepared to show a 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 the order confirmation to the San Francisco State Bookstore ticket pick-up and let the staff there know you are picking up on a graduating student’s behalf.
