The Grad Fair is a one-stop shop for graduation ceremony preparation at the Hinckley Center. It occurs about nine weeks before April graduation. Our cap and gown provider hosts the Grad Fair to assist students with ordering cap and gowns, rings, announcements, stoles, diploma frames, and other accessories.

Undergrad- You need a cap, gown, and tassel. Many students also have a stole, but that is not necessary to walk in graduation.

Masters and PhD You need a cap, gown, tassel, and hood. Many students also have a stole, but that is not necessary to walk in graduation.

All caps are one-size-fits-all. Gowns are based on height and weight. If you purchase in person our vendor can help you pick the right size. If you purchase online it will direct you to fill in your height and weight before you purchase.

Tassel colors are dependent on what degree type you are getting. See the chart below for more details. See this document for details on which major graduates with which degree.

Yes, anyone can purchase your cap and gown for you. Make sure they have your height, weight, and degree type. They must be able to pay in person as advanced payment isn't available.

We are unable to take any phone orders. Please order in person at Grad Fair or online by the deadline.

Yes, you can purchase the items separately. For example, you can purchase just the cap or just the tassel.

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. 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.

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.

Reach out to enrollment services for assistance.

You can purchase thank you notes, rings, and diploma frames at Grad Fair or online.

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