Invitations will be emailed in late March to your NYU email address.  If you do not receive your Convocation invitation by April 1, please contact the Office at sps.graduationevents@nyu.edu to verify your graduation status and email address.

Each participating graduate and candidate for graduation is eligible to bring up guests and will be provided with three tickets. You will be able to reserve tickets online between March 21 and April 22, 2022.

As approved by the University’s Deans Council, candidates for graduation who have up to two courses outstanding to complete their degrees may petition their school dean for eligibility to participate in the All-University Commencement and the SPS Convocations. The two courses must be completed by the end of the summer. Students with extenuating circumstances (for example, international students whose visas expire or who are subject to travel restrictions) will have their situations reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

To request a Dean’s Exception:

• Review your degree requirements with your academic advisor to ensure you meet the eligibilty requirements.
• Complete the request form below. 
• Once approved you will receive separate communications regarding next steps for both the all-University commencent and the NYU SPS Convocation. 

• Dean’s Exceptions will be limited to two guest tickets for the All-University Commencement Excercises.
• Dean’s Exceptions will be able to order their SPS Convocation upon approval and will receive three guest tickets.
