We invite graduates, their families and friends, students, faculty, staff, and alumni to join us for the College of Performing Arts Recognition Ceremony at Louis Armstrong Stadium, USTA Grounds.
We are thrilled to celebrate our Mannes, Jazz, Drama, MMPC, & MAAME graduates.
We look forward to hearing from our student speakers as well as our musical performers for the ceremony.

The best way to get to the USTA National Tennis Center is public transit. Both the 7 train to and the LIRR serve the venue at Mets-Willets Point. Limited Pre-paid parking is available at CitiField.
There are two entry points to the stadium: the East Gate and the South Gate. Whether you arrive by mass transit or by car, there will be plenty of directional signage and volunteer greeters once you are within close proximity of the stadium.Â
Â
By Subway:
The 7 train provides service from Grand Central Terminal to Mets-Willets Point Station, including connections for all Metro-North Trains from Westchester and Connecticut. Service is also available from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The subway schedule can be found here.
By Long Island Rail Road:
LIRR provides easy service to Mets-Willets Point Station from Woodside, and convenient connections from Penn Station for New Jersey Transit customers. Guests in need of an accessible station should exit the LIRR train at 61st Street-Woodside Station and transfer to the 7 subway train. Take the 7 train to Mets-Willets Point Station. The LIRR schedule can be found here.
By Car:
We recommend taking either the Grand Central Parkway exit 9E, Whitestone Expressway Exit 13D, or Long Island Expressway Exit 22B - College Point Blvd. From there you will be directed by Traffic Team Members and NYPD to the Southfield Parking Lot.
You must register for each event you plan on attending, including the University Ceremony, school recognition ceremonies, and other events throughout the week.
All attendees, including graduates, guests, alumni, faculty, and staff must register for this event. Registration will be checked at the gate; individuals may register for up to SIX (6) guests.
Â
II registered or was registered to be a guest at an event but I didn’t receive a confirmation email or PDF with a QR code.
Â
If you are a guest and don’t recall receiving a registration confirmation PDF but know you are signed up, check with the person who registered for you as they are the only one who received all the confirmations.Â
Â
If you registered for yourself and additional guests, be sure to forward the confirmation PDFs with QR codes to your guests. They would otherwise not have received any confirmation emails or PDFs.
To attend, all guests must wear a face mask indoors at all times, and all guests age five and older must provide one of the following forms of documentation:
• Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and booster if eligible (vaccination includes all WHO and FDA approved vaccines), or
• A negative COVID-19 test (A negative PCR within 3 days—5/17 or after—or same-day rapid antigen test administered by a medical professional).Â
Â
A valid New School ID (or green clearance badge from the The New School Student Health Services portal) is sufficient health and safety documentation for graduating students, staff, and faculty.
Â

Â
What if I’m unable to produce either of the accepted forms of documentation?
Â
Guests who are unable to produce either of the accepted form of documentation will not be permitted to enter ceremonies at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and are encouraged to participate in Commencement by watching our livestream. All events hosted on campus at The New School continue to be subject to university policy, which requires guests to be up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccination.
