Student Regalia - Commencement

Regalia – Academic Attire

Regalia (cap, gown, hood, and tassel) is required for all candidates participating in Commencement and must be ordered in advance of the ceremony.

If you do not have your regalia, you will not be permitted to participate in the ceremony. April 18 is the last day to order regalia for shipping to your preferred address. This deadline is final and cannot be extended due to production and shipping restrictions. We recommend you order your attire as soon as possible to avoid delays.

• When ordering your regalia, please use your student ID as your password.

• There is a cost to obtain your regalia.

• The regalia is yours to keep.

• Regalia will not be distributed at the ceremony.

• Regalia will be shipped to the address you indicate. Please make sure it is delivered to an address you will have access to before Commencement.

• The merchandise can only be returned if the packaging is sealed.
