Please be sure to share the information below with your guests.

• For safety sake, no backpacks or large bags will be permitted into the venue. All bags are subject to inspection.

• No posters or signs of any type will be allowed into the venue.

• We also respectfully ask that no balloons or similar items be brought in (save them for home!)

• In compliance with Touro’s Commencement Policy, students are only permitted to wear the official Touro University academic regalia provided to them. Students may also wear earned honor cords and honor stoles, or cords issued by the University for Veterans of the U.S. Military (see our Commencement Policy) Students are not permitted to add any decorations or embellishments to their caps. If you have any question about what is appropriate, please ask Dean DePierro, Assistant Dean for Student Services and Records in advance of the event (or, when in doubt, leave it out).
