Additional Regalia Adroment
Additions to Commencement Regalia are limited to symbols of academic achievement or honors (i.e. cords, medals, hoods) or participation in University community organizations and programs (i.e. cords, stoles, pins, medals). These items are acquired from the appropriate University department prior to the day Commencement. Students wishing to add to their regalia are welcome to decorate the top of the cap. No other items may be worn. If a student, for cultural reasons, would like to dress in traditional regalia or ensemble, they may speak to the Executive Director of Special Events regarding these guidelines.
