Cap & Gown Information

Your cap and gown (or regalia) are an important part of graduation. The cap and gown are worn over dress clothes. (Men typically wear dark-colored dress pants and a collared shirt with a tie; women typically wear knee- or calf-length dresses or skirts.) The color inside of your hood represents your program of study. If you are eligible for academic honors, you will also be given a cord to wear. Academic honors are based on your cumulative GPA.

Consider your regalia a tangible symbol of your great accomplishment in completing your program!

HOW TO ORDER YOUR CAP & GOWN

To order your regalia, you must first pay the appropriate fee in the Accounting Office. Next, visit the Student Affairs Office to provide them with your receipt of payment and your height/weight measurements. The deadline to order your regalia is Wednesday, March 13, 2013.
