Caps and Gowns
Caps and gowns will be available through Student Services (room 109) from Monday, April 28 until Noon on Friday, May 16.

The academic attire rental fee will be charged automatically to student accounts. The cap, gown, and hood rental is $69.95 plus tax for all graduate and doctoral students. Gowns must be returned to Student Services before leaving the church following graduation. A $20 daily fee will be charged to your student account until the regalia is returned.
