• Great Commencement news, #Fisher2021! Earlier this week, Governor Cuomo released updated guidelines for commencements and graduations. Since receiving the guidelines, our Commencement Committee has been working to reassess our plans and to obtain proper approvals for accommodating guests. As a result, we are excited to share that each graduate will be able to invite up to two guests to their School ceremony. This does not change the day, time, or location of the School ceremonies. Guidelines include: • Upon arrival on campus, registered guests will be required to provide documentation of a COVID-19 vaccination completed at least 14 days prior to the day of the ceremony OR a negative COVID-19 test; this test can be an FDA approved antigen test administered within 6 hours of the ceremony or an FDA approved PCR test completed within 72 hours of the ceremony. A copy of your test results, the Excelsior Pass, or your vaccine card will be acceptable forms of proof. • Face coverings, properly worn, are required at all times while on campus. • Attendees must maintain a distance of, at least, six feet from other individuals, except for members of the same immediate party/household/family both during the ceremony and on campus. Graduates must register their guests for their School ceremony. Next week, graduates who have already registered for a ceremony will receive an invitation to register your guests. Students who are eligible to graduate but have not yet registered will receive a reminder to do so. In order to accommodate this change in plans and allow our staff to finalize details, the registration deadline for graduates will be Friday, April 23 at 12 noon. The registration deadline for guests will be Sunday, April 26 at 12 noon. The week prior to the Commencement ceremonies, students who are registered for a ceremony will receive additional details regarding the campus testing schedule and location. Graduates are advised to continue to monitor their email and to visit the Commencement website (the link is in our bio) for any additional Commencement updates.
