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.
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.
