WITH LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TO THE BIG DAY, IT’S HIGH TIME TO...

Reserve a room

Lodging in Providence fills up fast, so be sure to make reservations well in advance. Check our accommodations list for options that offer special rates for guests attending RISD Commencement.

Order a cap + gown

Your graduation fee covers the cost of your cap and gown, so all you need to do next is register online. You’ll then pick up the package on campus the week leading up to the ceremony. 

Get your tickets

Each graduating student gets up to 6 tickets for friends, family and guests. Additional tickets may be available after all graduates get a chance to indicate how many tickets they’ll need. Graduating students can reserve tickets here.
