Regalia Specifics
- Undergraduate students should have a black robe, black cap, and tassel.
- Graduate students should have a black robe, black cap, tassel and a hood that corresponds with the appropriate program.The hooding is a part of the Commencement ceremony on stage, so students will be asked to fold the hood and process in with it on their arm. Instructions will be given at commencement regarding this.
- Doctoral students should have a black robe, tam and hood that corresponds with the appropriate program.
- Doctoral candidates must purchase regalia in store by Apr. 4.
- If you have earned a higher degree and are earning an additional degree at UBalt, you can wear the regalia for your highest degree earned. However, you are expected to purchase a hood if recieving your Masters or Doctorate to take part in the hooding process of Commencement. For example- students who are graduating with their JD prior to earning their masters through the joint program can wear their Law regalia, and purchase a hood separately for Commencement day.
- Please review Commencement Attire Guidelines.
- There are items on the market to assist with the caps that are worn by Undergraduate and Graduate students. One such company is called Grad Remix. Their graduation cap insert is a 2 piece system that transforms the graduation cap to fit better.
