Academic Attire

We know that many candidates also wish to have their gowns to complete their academic attire.

While gowns are generally only available for rental, this year we are able to offer keepsake gowns to graduates for purchase (at the same price as the rentals). These gowns are yours to keep. Master’s and doctoral candidates will also have the option to purchase hoods. The gowns and hoods are made of sustainable fabric, woven from 100% post-consumer materials.

Purchase Academic Attire

Order by April 6 for delivery by May 7. If you miss this April 6 date, see the NYU website for additional details.

Please be aware that you are under no obligation to purchase academic attire at this time; it is entirely optional. This academic attire can be worn for photos and during viewing of the virtual 2021 exercises, and then kept and worn at the in-person Commencement ceremony when it is rescheduled. Those who do not purchase gowns at this time will be able to purchase them in advance of the rescheduled Commencement.
