Regalia and Keepsakes
All eligible students, and faculty, who plan to participate in school celebrations and Commencement on the National Mall must wear regalia; active service members may wear their dress uniform in lieu of regalia. You are not required to purchase from the university’s preferred vendor(*).
Additional purchases such as stoles, announcements, diploma frames, yearbooks, and class rings are not required to graduate or participate in Commencement Week events.
Graduates may reference a list of faculty (hood) colors associated with GW’s majors.
Select “Graduation Caps and Gowns” to view regalia options.
* If purchasing from another vendor, the regalia must be black or navy blue and appropriate for the degree earned at GW.
