Graduates have until May 1 to order their cap and gown, and we pick up the tab. That’s right—as long as your order is made by May 1, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai pays for your rental. Please begin your ordering process at Herff Jones.

Those who miss the May 1 deadline must pay for their order without the guarantee that Herff Jones can fulfill the rental. All regalia questions should be directed to Steven Clarke at Herff Jones: 516-223-2572.

Graduates may pick up their regalia on either June 4, from 2-5pm, or June 5, from 11am-2pm in Stern Auditorium. Please note that after the Commencement Ceremony, once you have taken pictures in your cap and gown, all regalia items must be returned at the designated drop-off stations before you leave Stern Auditorium.

All graduates are guaranteed access to up to two* guest tickets. Tickets will be distributed during the regalia pick-up dates in June. If you need to request more tickets, please fill out the Additional Commencement Ticket Form by April 15th. If additional tickets become available, we will notify you as soon as possible.

 *The number of tickets allocated per student is subject to change per Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Infection Prevention restrictions.
