New Location and Schedule for Commencement 2024

 

SUNY New Paltz graduates and families:

All Commencement ceremonies in May 2024 will take place in the (air-conditioned!) Athletic & Wellness Center on the SUNY New Paltz campus.

Undergraduate ceremonies on May 18 & 19 will be split across a morning and afternoon program on each day, to ensure that each of our graduates has the opportunity to walk the stage and celebrate with their ticketed guests. Graduates-to-be should check their SUNY New Paltz email for confirmation of their ceremony assignments.

Please read this message from President Darrell P. Wheeler acknowledging the impact of these changes on our graduates and their families.
