Regalia
Students participating in the commencement ceremonies are expected to wear appropriate academic dress (cap, gown, and hood) provided by the university and to be picked up at the university bookstore. Students should provide their gown size information in the application to graduate. Any changes to gown sizing after submitting the application to graduate can be requested via the Graduation Application Changes form.
Students may purchase additional accessories or custom orders directly from Herff Jones including stoles, cords, frames, announcements, etc.
Cords: if you are eligible for Drew University honors cords in the department, student activity/leadership cords, or Baldwin honors cords, you will need to speak directly with those offices to determine how they will be distributed. Cords will not be available at the ceremony unless you were specifically told where and when to pick them up on the ceremony day from the office that handles the cord. Drew University does not distribute cords for Latin honors.
