2. Preorder your gown

Graduands who attend the Convocation ceremony are required to wear appropriate academic dress and must obtain hoods for the degree they’re receiving — not for a degree they already hold. Gowns and hoods are available for rent. They can be picked up on site at Merlis Belsher Place before your ceremony. If you did not pre-order a gown rental, you can rent one on site 1.5 hours prior to your ceremony.
