Tickets

The gates to Homewood Field will open one hour prior to the ceremony start time. All students, graduates, and guests must bring a photo ID (students should use their JHU ID) and go through “airport-style” security screening for admittance, which includes searches of purses and other small bags. This will slow entry onto Homewood Field so please plan accordingly.

Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests should be in their seats by 8:45 a.m. for the ceremony. Please allow time for parking, walking to Homewood Field, and finding a seat.

Please note that the gates to Homewood Field will close at 10 a.m. Any guests arriving after 10 a.m. will be directed to the satellite viewing area located in the Bloomberg Center for Physics and Astronomy, Room 272.
