All guests must register for each event they plan on attending, including your School Recognition Ceremony, University Commencement, Countdown for Commencement events, and other events throughout the week. Graduating students are responsible for registering their guests for each event. 

For On-Campus Ceremonies:
Effective February 23, 2023, event guests and/or visitors to the New School are no longer required to provide proof of up-to-date vaccination or negative result from a PCR test and do not need to use the CLEAR app to present their vaccination status. Wearing a mask is recommended but not required on campus. 

For Commencement at USTA:

Proof of vaccination or negative test will not be required for entry to this event. Guests and visitors are expected to be both symptom-free as well as either vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a recent negative test. Masks are encouraged. 

For extra tickets to University Commencement, simply register again on the event page. For additional tickets for your school recognition ceremony, please contact your college directly.

Anyone who feels unwell on the day of any event, whether or not they have COVID-19 symptoms and regardless of vaccination status, is asked to stay home. University Commencement will be accessible via livestream.
