Q: Can I get more than 4 tickets? 

A: In order to ensure we are following safety guidelines and remain under the allotted number of people allowed within the stadium, each graduate may have up to four guests accompanying them. Those not able to attend in-person can celebrate with their graduates by viewing the live stream, which can be accessed at www.fwps.org/Graduation2021.

Q: If each graduate is only allowed to bring four guests to the ceremony, can other family/friends wait outside the stadium to take pictures, give leis/gifts, etc?

Q: If a graduate does not invite four guests, can they share their extra tickets with others?
