Participating in Ceremonies

All students who are eligible to graduate received an email with a link to the ticket request form on March 11, 2019. If you did not receive this email, please contact wagner.convocation@nyu.edu. Graduating students wearing cap and gown do NOT need a ticket to enter New York City Center. All guests (including infants and toddlers) must have a Convocation ticket to enter. Candidates will be seated in sections according to their program. Guest seating is general admission.

Convocation ticket pickup

Convocation tickets must be picked up in person by the candidate at the NYU Box Office, Skirball Center, 566 LaGuardia Place.

• Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4: 12:00pm-6:00pm

• Tuesday, May 7 through Saturday, May 11: 12:00pm-6:00pm

• Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15: 12:00pm-6:00pm

You must bring your NYU ID to the Box Office. 

If you cannot pick up your tickets yourself, you can arrange for a proxy to pick up your tickets from the NYU Box Office. There is a process for sending a proxy in your place to pick up tickets if you know someone in New York that will be able to go for you:

• Provide a signed letter with the authorized person's name to pick up your tickets on your behalf
• Provide a copy of your NYU ID (front and back)
• Ensure that the authorized person has a hard copy of the authorized letter and copy of your NYU ID to show the Box Office

If you or a proxy are unable to pick up your tickets before the deadline, please email wagner.convocation@nyu.edu as soon as possible to make alternative arrangements.
