We know you're excited for your Commencement. Read below for important information regarding Regalia (Cap and Gown).

 

Regalia Information

Regalia is to be purchased online only. Read all information below.

PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY! Regalia is to be purchased online only from our regalia vendor. Regalia link will open in late Fall 2025 and close on TBA SPRING DATE.  Ship to home is the only eligible option for regalia, so please plan accordingly. 

  • Purchase regalia online by TBA SPRING DATE for ship to home to ensure that you are receiving the correct regalia on time.  Regalia will be mailed to you after purchase.
    • All doctoral regalia must be purchased online early.
  • More information to come if you miss the deadline to order online.
  • Cords and stoles for student or national organizations are handled by the individual honors organizations.
  • Most graduates dress in business casual attire. Business casual dress includes slacks or business dress pants, khakis, chinos, knee-length skirts, button-down shirts, sweaters, blouses, polo shirts, knee-length or maxi dresses, cardigans, blazers, or sports coats. Please take into consideration both the weather and comfort, because you will be wearing your robe for several hours.
    • 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.
  • 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 receiving 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.
  • 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.
