Graduation is an important phase and is celebrated by graduation day. On this day, graduates and faculty members come together, donned in their specific graduation attire. The faculty members hand over the diplomas to the graduates. The day is worth capturing in photographs.
The graduation regalia are highly important for the ceremony. Having complete graduation attire is an achievement in itself. The graduation gowns are donned with hood for graduation. The graduation hoods are normally made to order, since each person is different. The hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. More than one color is shown by division of the field color in a variety of ways. Most schools divide the color by using a single chevron. Occasionally, a school might use more than one chevron, no chevron but instead a single field color, an equal division, a reverse chevron, a straight bar or other methods.
When ordering online you will significantly lower prices than the degree-granting university would charge to sell them to you. However, the stores may not keep up with the changes each university makes to their regalia each year, and therefore it is advisable that you inquire in your school or universities what the current regalia colors are supposed.
It is also suggested that you find out in advance of ordering what your school colors are, and which goes in the field and which goes in the chevron of the hood. You might also ask the following additional information: 1) whether they use 6 or 8 sides for their tam (if you are buying a tam); 2) whether they use a tam or a mortarboard for a Master's degree (if you are inquiring about a master's gown regalia set); 3) whether they use the standard black for the academic gown and cap shell color or if they have a special color; 4) whether they use an embroidered school emblem or symbol on the gown velvet and if so what it looks like (these are fairly rare, but a few schools use them); 5) and if there is anything special about the regalia not covered by those questions.
Generally the best source for this information is the University book store or student store. Someone at most bookstores has all of this information. You should know that you have the right to purchase your cap and gown from any manufacturer, and not just the company that has a contract with your university. By getting this information you can purchase your regalia from any online store and you save a lot of money.
