Academic attire (cap and gown) is required for all candidates and graduates attending the NYU All-University Commencement at Yankee Stadium (May 15, 2025) and/or the EMBA Graduation Ceremony at NYU Skirball (August 2, 2025).
A full academic attire set consists of a gown, tassel, cap, and hood. The EMBA program will be ordering and covering all expenses related to the academic attire order for EMBA graduates (one academic attire set per graduate).

Considerations and Reminders
Please keep the following in mind regarding the academic attire:
Each graduate will receive one academic attire set which consists of a gown, tassel, cap, and hood. The academic attire will be yours to keep.
The same academic attire set will be worn for BOTH the NYU All-University Commencement in May and the EMBA Graduation Ceremony in August. If you are attending the NYU All-University Commencement in May, please make sure that you keep the academic attire somewhere safe.
Gowns and hoods are made of sustainable fabric, woven from 100% recycled materials. Each gown saves 29 post-consumer waste plastic bottles from the landfill.
