Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» the Program
The Cap & Gown program supports students interested in graduation activities but the cost of regalia presents a barrier to their participation. This program is administered on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority to need-based applicants, provided that the requested gown size and hood color are available.
GPSA only processes regalia requests for graduate students. Undergraduate students may visit the UNLV Cap & Gown Lending Program page to access the undergraduate application and more information.
Procedures
Enrolled graduate students may request commencement regalia from the GPSA at any time of the year. For peak times (October/November and March/April), the student must complete the application request form before their order can be fulfilled. Students will be notified if their request can be fulfilled by October 20 for fall commencement/March 20 for spring commencement.
The GPSA will notify the student if all items are available and when their order is ready for pick up. Pick-up is typically the week before commencement. Commencement regalia will be picked up at the Graduate Student Commons (LLB 2141) on the second floor of Lied Library. The student will need to confirm their order's accuracy upon pick up. Please note, we will provide the closest requested gown size available.
The application may be closed before the deadline if the number of requests exceeds the number of available commencement regalia sets in stock.
