As we look ahead to spring, I’m pleased to share initial details about Commencement 2026 to help you begin planning for this milestone celebration.
Due to continued construction at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens—restricting access to Arthur Ashe Stadium for the second year in a row—Commencement will once again take place in Louis Armstrong Stadium over two consecutive days: Wednesday, May 20, 2026, and Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Undergraduate school and college ceremonies, including the Main Ceremony featuring our keynote speaker, will be held on Wednesday, May 20. The Elisabeth Haub School of Law and graduate school and college ceremonies will follow on Thursday, May 21.
The schedule of the days, which is subject to change, is outlined below:
Wednesday, May 20, 2026: Undergraduate Day
-
9:45 a.m. | Lubin School of Business, College of Health Professions, and Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems
-
1:00 p.m. | Undergraduate Main Ceremony
-
3:30 p.m. | Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, Sands College of Performing Arts (undergraduate and graduate students), and School of Education
Thursday, May 21, 2026: Graduate Day
-
9:30 a.m. | Elisabeth Haub School of Law
-
12:00 p.m. | Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems and Lubin School of Business
-
3:30 p.m. | Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, and College of Health Professions
After truly memorable ceremonies last year, we are confident that this year's events will once again honor your accomplishments in a way that feels worthy of your achievements—and of the spirit of the Pace Community.
Each graduate will be automatically eligible to receive up to six guest tickets for both their school ceremony and, if applicable, the undergraduate main ceremony. If additional tickets are needed, requests can be made during the registration process and will be considered on a rolling basis.
For ongoing updates and answers to frequently asked questions, please visit www.pace.edu/commencement. Details on graduate registration, ticketing, and regalia orders will be announced in the new year.
I look forward to joining you in celebration this May.
