Commencement Location
Suffolk's Commencement ceremonies will be held at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion, located at 290 Northern Avenue, Boston. The Pavilion is an open-air, tented amphitheater located on the Boston waterfront. All guests should check the forecast and be prepared for changeable weather. Parking is available nearby.
Tickets
Because there is limited seating at the Blue Hills Pavilion, the number of tickets available for guests will be a announced in April 2019 after we know how many students will participate in Commencement. An admission ticket is required for each guest, including children age three and older. All seating is general admission.
Information for Family Members and Friends
Please share this information with your friends and family. Given the number of commencement exercises in the Boston area, they should make hotel reservations as early as possible. Affordable on campus housing options for family members only are 10 West, Modern Theater, and 150 Tremont Street Residence Halls. More information about on-campus housing will be available next semester.
If your family members and friends will be travelling to Boston from another country, they may need a visa to gain entrance to the United States. You may request a general invitation letter from the University which provides the date of Commencement by going to the Division of Student Success Information Desk, located on the 9th floor of 73 Tremont Street, Monday - Friday from 9am - 4pm daily. We strongly recommend that you encourage your family members and friends to begin the visa process now, if appropriate.
Commencement Updates
As the semester progresses, the University will be sending email updates to your Suffolk email address via Constant Contact. Please make sure your email address recognizes Constant Contact as a valid address to avoid emails going to your Junk Mail folder.
Faculty and staff at Suffolk University look forward to celebrating a memorable graduation ceremony with you, your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Ann E. Coyne, Ed.D.
Dean of Students
