What to Expect on Commencement Day

All graduates must report with their academic attire no later than 3:00 p.m. to the 161 West 56th Street (stage) entrance. You will not be returning to your robing area. Do not carry personal belongings with you. Promptly at 3:15 p.m. the Faculty Marshals will begin to line you up for the processional. Because of the starting time of the Commencement Ceremony, you are strongly encouraged to travel to Carnegie Hall by public transportation.  You may take the Q,N,R or W trains to 57th Street, or any train that goes to Columbus Circle (59th Street and 8th Avenue, the 1,2,A,B,C or D trains) and walk to 56th Street.
