Purchasing Regalia
Caps and gowns will be available for purchase at GradFest, or students can pre-order their regalia online starting TBD. Pre-ordered regalia will be shipped directly to your home address.
After pre-orders close and after GradFest, you will still be able to purchase regalia directly from the Pioneer Bookstore through graduation day. Online ordering for home delivery is open, and after GradFest items will only be purchased a la carte (no package pricing).
Graduates are not required to purchase a new gown, many graduates borrow a gown from graduates who have participated in previous years, or use a black gown from a previous graduation ceremony (i.e. community college).
