To maintain the dignity of the graduation services, graduates are requested not to alter or embellish the cap (mortarboard) or gown. Stoles of Gratitude or honors regalia are appropriate accessories to the basic cap and gown.

A stole is an optional accessory worn by the graduate during the commencement ceremony that is embroidered with the name of your college. These were previously known as stoles of gratitude. After commencement, the graduate presents the stole of gratitude to someone who provided them with help or support, such as parents, relatives, or mentors. The graduate removes the stole from his/her neck and places it around the neck of the recipient. More than one stole may be worn during commencement, symbolizing that the student was helped by multiple people.

Yes, our vendor will be on campus for Grad Fair and again the week of commencement.

Reach out to enrollment services for assistance.

If you are having trouble figuring out how to wear your regalia check out this video made by our gown distributor.

Honors program graduates can pick up their v-stole and medallion from the Honors office 102 MSRB. Graduates must return the v-stole after graduation, but the medallion is yours to keep. If you are walking in the Honors Convocation program, then these are required to participate.

Grad Bash is a party with food, a movie, a drone show, a limited edition 2024 T-shirt, and more hosted by BYU Alumni and BYU Student Alumni.

We want to welcome all graduating students to the BYU Alumni family! For more information and to register check out the website.
