For graduates: Graduates should report to Lerner Hall at 6:30 p.m. (rather than 4 p.m. as originally planned). Students will enter through Broadway and must wear their regalia.
For Guests: Gates will open for guests at 7 p.m. (rather than 4 p.m. as originally planned). Guests should enter campus on 114th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue before proceeding through the Carmen and John Jay Gates.
