Commencement Week
Regalia
As a tradition, caps and gowns are worn by all participants at the commencement ceremony. All regalia comes individually packaged, which will result in creasing and wrinkling. You are welcomed to order your regalia early, so you have time to steam the gown, which we strongly recommend. Ironing is not recommended.
Deadline for ordering regalia is June 27, 2024.
Order your regalia: Jostens website
Each student will also purchase a tassel for the year in which they graduate.
We encourage you to submit a photo of yourself in your regalia so we can showcase you!
Photographers
Photographers available to you if you are local to Southern California:
- Paul Switzer Photography will be available for traditional portraits in your cap and gown. Please find the pricing and ordering form. You may contact him directly to schedule your consultations.
- Nave Photography will be available for private commencement ceremony photo sessions. These sessions can be scheduled directly with Nave Photography and can include multiple people.
Diplomas
Since it is impossible to identify with certainty by Commencement day the students who have completed all requirements, degrees are not posted until all final grades are received; then the diploma may be ordered. Diplomas are generally ready 7-9 weeks after grades are posted in your last term. The Registrar will mail your diploma to the address on file once it is available.
To avoid a delay in receiving your diploma, please notify the Registrar of any address changes by submitting a support ticket in StudentHub or emailing [email protected].
