Commencement FAQ
TICKETS
This is a ticketed event. An email regarding the number of tickets available to each student and the process to collect tickets will be sent to all students in the spring semester. As you plan ahead, we ask that you request only the number of extra tickets that you will actually use. The graduating student does not need to be counted or included in the total number of tickets in your request. Seating is general admission for families and friends.
ROBES AND ACADEMIC REGALIA
Graduating students are required to wear full academic regalia — a cap, tassel, hood, and gown — to attend commencement. Academic regalia ordering details coming soon.
VENUE
Commencement will be held at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Pl (between West 3rd and West 4th streets), New York, NY 10012. Please visit their website for directions and accessibility information.
livestream
Streaming will begin at 11 am EDT on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Details to follow.
DIPLOMA INFORMATION
Diplomas are not distributed during the commencement ceremony. Instead, they will be mailed to graduates approximately 4-8 weeks after the conferral date, pending verification that all degree requirements have been met. The diplomas will be sent to the address provided in the Graduation Candidacy and Diploma Form.
You will receive a notification from the Registrar's Office and Parchment, our digital credentialing service, when your diploma is ready to be claimed and mailed.
Once certificates and diplomas are ready, Parchment will send an email and text message (if a mobile phone number was provided). You will have 72 hours to confirm or change your mailing address. If you do not confirm your address with Parchment within this timeframe, your certificate or diploma will be sent to the address you indicated on your graduation application.
Please note that diplomas will not be sent to students with outstanding holds. To ensure timely receipt of your diploma, settle all financial obligations with the Bursar's Office and return any borrowed books to the Library.
EMAIL COMMUNICATION
All commencement communication will come from commencement@nysid.edu. Please use this email address for any questions or concerns related to commencement matters.
