Academic Regalia
Academic regalia for undergraduate and graduate programs can be purchased in person or online from the University bookstore. If seniors have their robe from their New Student Convocation, they only have to purchase their cap/tassel and hood, otherwise, they should purchase the whole package. Graduates from professional programs will receive guidance on academic regalia directly from the Law and Medical schools.
