Academic Attire (Cap, Gown, Hood) Instructions

Back

Academic Attire must be worn at both Baccalaureate and Commencement. 

Representatives from Oak Hall Cap and Gown will be located in the Bookstore on May 2, 1:00-4:00 p.m., May 3, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., and on May 4 from 7:00-9:30 a.m.  You may pick up your cap, gown, and hood at these times. 

Please note that you must pick up your own attire (will not be given to anyone else) and your RC identification will be needed to pick up the academic attire. 

The hood and cap are NOT worn at the Baccalaureate service but are required at Commencement.   Also, note that any cords or stoles are NOT worn at Baccalaureate.  The academic attire does not have to be returned.  Please bring "bobbypins" if you need them to steady your cap.  Faculty marshals and staff will be on hand to assist you in robing and lining you up in the proper order.
