The CaSB 2026 Senior Survey

Students must complete the CaSB 2026 Senior Exit Survey to receive a name card. The name card is what will be read out as a student walks the stage.

Name Cards will be available for pick-up beginning on Monday, MAY 18th, 2026, at the CaSB Undergraduate Office (Hershey Hall 101). Name cards may be available on the day of the CaSB Commencement Celebration.

Note, participation in Commencement activities is not the same as “graduating.” Students who participate in Commencement are not guaranteed to earn a degree. Please consult with your UCLA College Counselor and the CaSB Counselor to confirm completion of degree requirements.

Guests

For the CaSB ceremony, students may order a maximum of eight (8) guest tickets. The first four (4) tickets are guaranteed and free. All tickets, including the four (4) free tickets, must be ordered via MyUCLA during the designated ticket order period noted above (Friday, May 8, 2026 – Friday, May 22, 2026). Additional tickets are $20.00 per ticket; cost will be billed directly to the student’s BruinBill account. NOTE: The four (4) additional guest tickets are not guaranteed to ensure we are not over capacity for the ceremony.

After a ticket order is placed, students will be charged, regardless of whether the tickets are picked up or used.

Students must order the four (4) free tickets when they enter their RSVP for the CaSB Commencement Celebration.

All guests must have a ticket to attend, except for infants or small children who will sit on an adult’s lap during the ceremony. Participating students do not need a guest ticket for the CaSB Commencement Celebration. However, participating students must order their student ticket. Note: Revenue generated by ticket sales covers the cost of the CaSB Commencement Celebration.
