I am finishing classes over the summer. Can I apply to walk this May?

Students who will be completing their final degree requirements over the summer term are considered September graduation candidates. September graduation candidates completing up to two courses over the summer term may petition for a Dean's Exception to participate in the All-University Commencement and the NYU Wagner Convocation.

Do I and my guests need tickets for Convocation and Commencement? How do I obtain them?

Guest Tickets for NYU Wagner Convocation can be requested online beginning mid-March. Eligible graduates can request up to four (4) guest tickets and apply for waitlist tickets. The venue's policy requires all guests to have a ticket, including infants and toddlers. Lap seating is not permitted without a ticket. 

I am a dual-degree student. Can I attend both ceremonies?

Dual-degree students are eligible to attend both of the individual school ceremonies and NYU Commencement. Students must be eligible and apply for graduation separately at both schools and apply for tickets separately from both schools.
