Gustavus Adolphus Families

If your family needs additional Commencement tickets, there are some still available. You can email [email protected] and request additional tickets. All tickets are also transferable via an email address using Hometown Tickets. So if your student has some they don't need, they can email that extra ticket to another student right in the app!

Parents of seniors: If your student plans to graduate in the 2025-26 academic year and/or participate in the 2026 Commencement ceremony, they need to complete the Intent to Graduate Form by April 1! An email with more information was sent on March 9 and your Gustie can contact the Registrar's Office with any questions.

At Gustavus, we want to support students in maintaining both their academic progress and their financial responsibilities. Beginning in the 2026-27 academic year, the College will be implementing a new Student Account Payment Policy designed to help students stay on track with their financial responsibilities each semester. The goal is to make expectations clear and help prevent unexpected disruptions to the academic experience.

If you have any questions about the new policy or would like an estimate of 2026-27 costs, please have your student reach out to the Student Accounts Office at [email protected] or call 507-933-7502. We’re happy to help.
