All attending students will have an assigned seat for the ceremony, which will be indicated on their Attendance Card in their Invite Pack.
After arriving at the University Cultural Centre, attendees will be required to proceed to their assigned seats in the Hall.

Dress Code
Yale-NUS Academic Dress
Graduands are required to wear the Yale-NUS Academic Dress if they wish to be presented on stage and receive the scroll from the Presiding Officer. Graduands who do not wish to wear the Yale-NUS Academic Dress will not be presented on stage and will not receive the scroll from the Presiding Officer.
Non-graduands attending the ceremony may choose to wear the academic dress. They may also choose to attend in business formal attire.
Your status as a graduand or non-graduand has previously been sent to you via email. Please contact graduation@yale-nus.edu.sg if you are unsure of your status.
Ordering of academic dress
All attending graduands are required to place an order of the academic dress with the official vendor Serangoon Broadway. More information on ordering and collection will be sent to you via email at a later date.
Please note that the academic dress rental option is for the entire set (gown, hood, sash, and mortarboard). If you rent the academic dress, you must return all four components to Serangoon Broadway directly. If you are considering borrowing, renting or purchasing the gown components from other sources (e.g. alumni who have already graduated), you will not be able to rent the sash from Serangoon Broadway individually.
