Academic Dress/Regalia

• Traditional academic regalia is required for all degree candidates. Watch here on how to wear the regalia.
• Students should wear business attire underneath their gowns. Candidates wearing anything other than the approved academic regalia will be asked to leave.
• A regalia package is available for purchase from the University Co-op (graduation department in the basement), and cannot be rented through the Co-op.
• Select “Business” when ordering tassel, stole or hood. If you borrow regalia, make sure that you have the correct color.
• MPA students earning both their BBA and MPA degrees concurrently only need to buy the masters regalia, which they can wear to the BBA ceremony.
• The tassel is worn on the right before the degree is conferred.
• Do not bring any personal items such as purses, backpacks, or coats.
• Be careful in choosing shoes to wear, as the ramps to and from the stage can be slick and are rather steep. It is recommended that high heels not be worn. No flip flops.

Diplomas

Once all requirements are met by the prescribed deadlines, you will receive graduation information from the Registrar’s Office. It is important to update your local and permanent addresses on the university system. The diploma will be mailed to your permanent address on file with the university. Diplomas will arrive approximately six weeks after the ceremony.
