In addition to the University Commencement ceremony, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies hosts separate events, one for its graduate and one for its undergraduate students and their guests. The NYU-SCPS ceremony will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel New York, located at Park Avenue and 42nd Street, by Grand Central Terminal. Along with your family and friends, you will join your fellow graduates as we celebrate your achievements. Please read the information below and look for additional details in your invitations.
Eligibility
Invitations are mailed to graduates and candidates for graduation for the 2012-2013 academic year—specifically those who have graduated in September 2012 and January 2013, as well as those who will graduate in May 2013.
Invitations
The NYU-SCPS Office of Events will mail invitations for this event in mid-March. If you do not receive your Convocation invitation by April 6, please contact the Office at (212) 992-9100 to verify your mailing address.
Ceremony
The ceremony will begin with several speeches that are followed by the presentation of graduates to the vice dean. During this presentation, each student will be invited to march across the stage to be recognized.

Please note that guest seating will begin at 10:00 a.m. for the graduate ceremony; and 5:00 p.m. for the undergraduate ceremony. We will not be able to accommodate guests who arrive earlier. Guests planning to arrive early should wait in the hotel lobby.
Photographs
Graduates will be able to purchase pictures taken during the ceremony. Details will be distributed on-site, during the student line-up.
