Commencement Closet

Hoping to attend commencement, but have no regalia? We've got you covered!

Empire State University Commencement Closet loans gowns, caps and master’s hoods. We even take care of laundering the garments before and after your event. The cost? Nothing. We simply ask that you return your pieces after commencement so future students can benefit from them, as well.

The request period for regalia through the Commencement Closet for spring commencement has ended. Details and a link for winter commencement requests will be provided when available.

Email commencement@sunyempire.edu for assistance.

We look forward to seeing you at commencement!
