Important Details for Students
Stage Pass (QRCode)
STAGE Pass is not your theater ticket, but a unique QR code you will need to screenshot or print and bring to the ceremony for scanning on stage at the theater so we can announce your name. Access your STAGE Pass QR Code through the TASSEL RSVP portal for graduation, and present it for scanning just before you go across the stage.
Ticketing Information
All Steinhardt ceremony tickets will be digital. Graduates will receive their tickets via their NYU email and should distribute them to their guests accordingly.

Ordering will reopen in March 2026 for May and August 2026 candidates.
