You must purchase your cap and gown by Friday, December 12th in order to reserve your place in line. Be sure to sign the log at the bookstore when you purchase your cap and gown, as the commencement participation list is generated from the information on this log. Retain your receipt, as you will need it when you pick up your guest tickets for the ceremony.
When you purchase your commencement regalia, please be sure that you have received all required items before you leave the bookstore. You should receive a gown, a cap and a tassel based on your degree and major (see Academic Attire for specific color information). Women receiving undergraduate degrees (bachelor and associate) should also receive a white detachable collar. The gowns come in different lengths, so be sure that the gown is appropriate for your height. Plus size gowns are also available. You may want to try the gown on before purchasing it, to avoid having to return to the bookstore at a later time.
