Clemson Ring Ceremony

The Fall Ring Ceremony is set for Sunday, October 29.

Clemson students who are eligible to participate in the Fall ceremony will receive communications via email and text providing details about registering for the ceremony and picking up their ticket once they have registered.

Students who have completed 90 or more earned hours on their official transcript and purchased the official Clemson Ring during Ring Week are eligible to participate in the Ring Ceremony. Graduate students who have completed half of their required hours may also purchase their ring and participate in the ceremony.

The Ring Ceremony is intended for those Clemson students and former students who have earned a minimum of 90 earned hours and who have purchased their class ring from the exclusive manufacturer of the Clemson Ring.

Ceremony Times and Assignments

Ceremony assignments will be set after Ring Week is complete and the number of ceremonies is determined. 

Due to the complex nature of the ceremonies, requests for specific assignment times cannot be accommodated.

Each participant (student) is assigned a specific seat in the venue. Seating assignments, the section and seat number, are included on the Participant’s Tickets. Each student is required to sit in this assigned seat as this assignment is directly connected to your Clemson Ring, therefore participant tickets cannot be exchanged or traded with another participant

If you have handicap accessibility needs, please include the information on your ticket reservation form or email cualumni@clemson.edu.
