You may purchase regalia by ordering from Herff Jones online.
To participate in commencement, you must purchase your regalia in advance, as it will not be available for purchase on the day of the event, May 9. The deadline to place your order for home shipping is April 14, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Please note that the regalia ordering website will close on April 24, 2025, and no orders can be processed after this date. Plan ahead to ensure you’re ready to celebrate your big day!
The in-person commencement ceremony requires regalia:
- Undergraduate graduates need a gown, cap, and tassel.
- Master’s degree graduates need a gown, cap, hood, and tassel.
- Doctorate degree graduates need a gown, hood, and tam (with its included tassel).
Graduates should wear their commencement regalia in a consistent manner:
- Gowns are worn closed.
- Caps are worn with the mortarboard flat and parallel to the floor. Tassels are worn to the right throughout the ceremony until graduates are instructed by the provost to move them to the left side.
- Honor Cords and other program stoles are worn around the neck.
