Graduation Gown Information

Get Ready Seniors! The time is almost here, and cap and gown orders are going in before we know it.

Graduation cap and gowns will be available to order online starting on February 14th, and will end on March 30th. Undergraduates as well as graduate recipients will receive a custom gown that do not need to be returned. These gowns will have the University of Hartford seal embroidered onto the gown, and these are manufactured from recycled plastic bottles. Although, undergrads and grad students will be able to keep their gowns, doctoral candidates will have to rent their gowns and keeper tam, and will be needed to return to the Campus Store after the commencement ceremony.

All graduate recipients will be given a degree-specific color tassel, and a souvenir tassel with the graduation date will also be available for purchase for the price of $8. Another cool option is given, which is ordering a Stole of Gratitude, which can be given to the person who most influenced and helped you throughout your educational journey. The cost of these are $25. Honor cords can also be purchased by eligible undergrads only. To be eligible, you must have a GPA of 3.25 and above. The cost of the honor cords are $10 each.
