FAQ:
Caps & Gowns
Ordering : The Registrar's Office orders caps & gowns during Spring Break for students who have a finalized graduation contract and are walking in the commencement ceremony.
Pick-up: Regalia will be distributed to students during the Mandatory Commencement Meeting in April. Students who do not attend the mandatory meeting may pick up their package in the Registrar's Office after this event.
Hood color: for graduate-level students, is based on your major.
Size: Your cap & gown is based on the height you provide on your graduation contract and your hood color is based on your major.
Plus size: Plus size gowns can be ordered on request. OR, consider a taller gown because the garment size increases with each 3" height increment. Gowns are available to try-on in the Registrar's Office.
The Registrar's Office does not order regalia for staff or faculty.
