When ordering, here are some things to keep in mind:
- While the campus bookstore will have caps and gowns on hand for walk-in customers, please plan to purchase prior to the day of the ceremony. The bookstore will have limited availability of gown sizes, and may not have gowns available the day of the ceremony.
- If you are a 2020 graduate and have already received your cap and tassel, you can purchase just the robe to complete your graduation regalia.
