Regalia must be worn by all students and faculty members participating in commencement. Standard academic regalia (gown, cap, tassel and hood) can be purchased through the University Bookstore. If you wish to order a custom doctoral gown and hood, select your preferred supplier online, such as Oak Hall, GraduationAttire, Herff Jones, and others at least 8 weeks in advance to allow sufficient time for delivery.
The hoods for the Doctor of Philosophy regalia are edged with dark blue; Doctor of Education (EdD) hoods are edged with light blue. Doctoral gowns are faced with black velvet with three bars across the sleeves. Tassels for doctoral students are gold.
The colors for the edging of hoods for master's students are determined by the college and discipline granting the degree, as listed in the table below. The tassels of caps for Master's students are black.
