What is the difference between Main Commencement and the College graduation ceremony?
- On Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 10:00am, Temple University will host the 139th Main Commencement ceremony, where all schools and colleges are invited to celebrate your accomplishments. Graduates in regalia do not need a ticket, and each graduate may invite up to 4 guests to attend.
- On Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 3:00pm the Barnett College of Public Health will host our 11th graduation ceremony, where all CPH and SSW graduates are invited to walk across the stage and accept your diploma from Dean Jennifer Ibrahim. Legacy Photographics will be taking photos of all graduates as you leave the stage. Each graduate may invite up to 10 guests to attend. Each graduate may pick up 2 parking passes to use for the May 6 CPH graduation ceremony.
- If only attending one of the two ceremonies, each graduate will receive 2 parking passes.
- If attending both ceremonies, each graduate will receive 3 parking passes
The RSVP website will be available in February with a VERY strict deadline, which will be posted when available. Your AccessNet log-in is required to request tickets to the Main Commencement. The same link will be used to RSVP for the CPH graduation ceremony. If planning to attend either ceremony, the RSVP must be completed for both.
