7.2 CAP AND GOWN
The doctoral tuition price automatically includes the cost of a rented cap and gown for graduation. Information on how to be measured for the cap and gown will be sent to graduates early in the semester of graduation. The rented cap and gown is only a mortarboard with a basic all black gown. However, the regalia associated with the Church and Ministry Leadership department will reflect appropriate colors for the degree and school.
Doctoral students may wish to purchase their own cap, hood, and gown at their own expense. Those who purchase the doctoral gown often opt to have royal blue chevrons on the sleeves and front panels of the gown (the traditional color for PhD degrees).
Students planning to order a cap, hood, and gown should do so as early in the semester of graduation as possible so that the regalia arrives in time for graduation.
