Ring StoryRING CEREMONY FAQS
I purchased my ring during ring week. Now what?
Congratulations! Now that you’ve ordered your ring, you will need to register for the next Ring Ceremony. Registration will be made available on Eventbrite early each semester and will close 1-2 weeks before the ceremony. Jostens will bring all rings to be distributed at this ceremony.
Please note that registration is required for students to reserve seats for themselves and their families. Purchasing a ring alone does not automatically register you for the ceremony.
Can I bring guests to the ceremony?
Yes! Each student or alumnus/a participating in Ring Ceremony may bring up to four guests.
How can I pick up my ring?
All rings will be delivered to USC on the day of the Ring Ceremony to be presented to those who purchased them. After the ceremony, further information will be provided about any rings not picked up. Please note that rings are handled by Jostens and not held at the Alumni Center.
When is the next Ring Ceremony?
