​​As the seating in the Coetzenburg Centre is limited, and Stellenbosch University has to comply with national legislation and municipal by-laws, a specific number of admission tickets for guests will be allocated per graduand*. 

For all the graduation ceremonies, excluding the morning ceremony of 23 March 2018, four tickets will be issued to all graduands excluding doctorates. Doctoral candidates will each receive five tickets for the first five graduation ceremonies.

Approximately 900 graduands are expected at the last graduation ceremony (Friday, 23 March). Therefore only three tickets will be issued per graduand, and four tickets per doctorate.

Guests who arrive at the Coetzenburg Centre without admission tickets will be accommodated in the Sports Science building just behind the centre where guests may can follow the graduation ceremonies via live streaming.

*Terminology: a graduand (graduands) is a person on the verge of being awarded a degree; a graduate (graduates) is a person who has just graduated.
