What is the Proper Attire for Commencement?
Candidates for graduation are required to wear the appropriate academic attire (cap, gown, and hood, if required) to participate in the ceremony. The academic robe is different for each of the awards presented: undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate. The hoods or tassels represent the college, school, or major field in which the student is receiving the degree.
