Ordering Your Regalia
If you are participating in the 2026 Commencement ceremonies, please order your regalia early to ensure the correct size. Remember, all graduates must wear the academic regalia associated with the degree to be conferred upon them. If you are receiving a bachelor’s degree, you will wear the traditional black cap and gown. Master’s degree recipients should order the cap and gown in addition to the hood associated with their discipline.
You can order your regalia online at the Herff Jones website.
For graduates who ordered their regalia online before March 20th, distribution will begin May 1st at the University Store. Orders made online between February 2nd and April 18th can have to have regalia shipped to an address of their choosing. After April 18, any graduate who would like to participate in the Commencement ceremony can obtain regalia through the bookstore beginning May 1, or pay to have their order shipped and expedited to their home by ordering through the website by May 2nd. The University Store will have plenty of caps, gowns, tassels, and other accessories, such as stoles and zipper pulls, until Friday, May 22nd.
The University Store is located on the second floor of the Student Center.
