Graduate Ceremony RSVP and Commencement Attire Order Information:

Graduate Ceremony RSVP: Due to COVID-19 event guidelines, all graduates must RSVP their intention regarding attending their in-person Commencement ceremony by Monday, March 1, 2021.  This is the deadline to be included in the Commencement ceremonies.  Information regarding the ceremonies dates, times and locations has been sent to your Upstate email address.

If you are attending your college-specific commencement ceremony to be held on May 8^th or 9^th at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown please be sure to RSVP your attendance at by Monday, March 1.

If you have extenuating circumstances and will be attending the University commencement on May 2, on campus, please be sure to RSVP your attendance at by Monday, March 1.

Commencement Attire Order Information: Due to COVID-19 we have made the decision to utilize “keeper attire” for this year’s ceremonies.  This attire package consists of gown, hood (for masters and doctoral grads), cap – or tam for doctoral grads and tassel which will be ordered online and shipped directly to you.  We contracted with a new company this year and the attire is very high quality and is yours to keep.  It is now time for you to order your commencement attire for you to wear at your ceremony!

To order your attire, visit the Jostens website by Monday, March 15.
