Graduation is right around the corner, and some schools at KU are changing their commencement ceremonies.

The school will save a couple hundred dollars by not issuing tickets. Smaller crowds in recent years helped the school make the decision to cut tickets that were previously used to control capacity.

Other schools such as the School of Business, will continue to issues tickets for their commencement ceremonies.
