Celebrating our Students at Formal Commencement

Faculty and staff are encouraged to celebrate the achievements of their students by participating in the spring Formal Commencement.

Regalia Orders and RSVPs & Regalia Distribution

All faculty and staff interested in participating in the spring Formal Commencement, must RSVP for Graduation. Faculty and staff who do not own regalia will be able to place an order for rental regalia when they RSVP. 

Faculty and staff who miss the deadline should contact Academic Affairs for late approval. Late RSVPs and regalia orders are not guaranteed and may be subject to late-fee charges by the bookstore.
