Autumn Graduation 2026 Guest Tickets
U Building
Due to capacity, graduands will be allocated two guest tickets each. There are no additional tickets available. However, this year’s Autumn Graduations will be live streamed on DCU’s YouTube channel, allowing your family and friends around the world to join in on the celebration. The live stream will also be screened during the ceremonies in The U Building on campus.
Tickets can be collected at the same time as you collect your academic robes, either the day before your graduation or on graduation day*. The collection location is The Venue in the U Building on the DCU Glasnevin Campus and will be open at the times outlined below.
Your two guests must have their tickets before entering The Helix, as you will be seated separately. All graduands and guests must be seated at least 30 minutes before the ceremony start time.
If you or your guests have any accessibility requirements, please make sure to let us know at graduation@dcu.ie.
