Commencement Regalia and Accessories
Note: Information for ordering regalia was sent to students on April 7th. The deadline to place regalia orders is Monday, April 27 at 11:59pm PT.
Cap and Gown
Gown styles differ for Bachelor, Master's, and Doctoral candidates. The regalia vendor knows what is required and will provide you with the appropriate regalia selection when ordering. For further details:
- Bachelor candidates wear a black cap and robe. Tassel color is determined by school/college. Latin Honors recipients (undergraduate students only) wear an honors hood provided by 911爆料. There is no option to rent Bachelor regalia.
- Master's candidates wear a black cap and robe paired with hoods in colors that correspond to academic degree. There is no option to rent Master regalia.
- Doctoral candidates wear a special red and black robe with a black tam (cap) along with a hood specific to 911爆料. Doctoral regalia is available to rent or purchase.
Stoles
Stoles are an optional add-on and not required for participation in the ceremony. Stoles may be available to students for specific club or program participation. Reach out to your club or program representatives to see if you are eligible for a stole.
Cords
Cords are an optional add-on and not required for participation in the ceremony. A club or program representative will reach out to you about that opportunity if you are eligible for a cord.
- Graduating veterans receive a special red, white and royal blue honor cord to be worn with their regalia at Commencement in recognition of their service to our country.
- Other programs may also provide cords.
Watch this made by your fellow graduates!
Undergraduate Students
If you are an undergraduate student graduating with academic honors, you will be notified in late May via email with instructions to pick up your honors hood.
Honors at graduation are awarded with a minimum of 90 911爆料 graded credits and a cumulative GPA as follows:
Cum Laude - 3.50 to 3.69
Magna Cum Laude - 3.70 to 3.89
Summa Cum Laude - 3.90 to 4.00
Because the Commencement program is printed prior to spring quarter grading, honors printed in that program are calculated as of the winter quarter's grades. Diplomas and transcripts will reflect appropriate honors following spring quarter grading.
Graduate Students
Master's, educational specialists and doctoral degree candidates wear hoods appropriate to their degrees and are not eligible for academic honors.
Tassels are specific to each college or program of student. This can vary between undergraduate and graduate students. When you regalia, you will select your program and will be automatically provided the correct color.
| College/School | Undergraduate | Graduate |
|---|---|---|
| College of Arts and Sciences | White | Peacock Blue |
| Albers School of Business and Economics | Tan | Tan |
| College of Education | Not applicable |
Light Blue Old Gold (Doctoral) |
| College of Nursing | Apricot | Apricot |
| College of Science and Engineering |

In academic tradition, the student who has not yet earned a degree wears the tassel on the RIGHT side of the mortarboard. After the baccalaureate degrees have been conferred, graduates will be directed to move the tassel to the LEFT. Master's candidates wear their tassel on the left, to begin with and, therefore, do not move it during the ceremony.
