7.3 Cap and Gown
The cost of graduation automatically includes the cost of a rented cap and gown. Information on how to be measured for the cap and gown will be sent to graduates early in the semester of graduation.
Doctoral students may wish to purchase their own cap, hood, and gown. The rented cap and gown is only a mortarboard with a basic all black gown. However, the regalia associated with LBC|Capital will reflect appropriate colors for the degree and school.
PhD students who purchase the doctoral gown often opt to have royal blue chevrons on the sleeves and front panels of the gown since this is 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. Students who purchase the cap, hood, and gown are still charged the rental fee.
