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.
