These loop holes are nothing but your silly questions that you do not ask anybody and they don’t help when you land in problems later on.
First of the question that you must have an answer on is “What Is the correct time of ordering anacademic regalia”.
The answer is generally 8-12 weeks, sometimes sooner depending on the season. Anything less than 6 weeks requires a RUSH surcharge of 20%. In case you are interested in wearing before it gets completed you have to rent them but since this service may be chargeable you would like to avoid it.
Overseas orders: Generally have extended delivery period of 4-5 months, also no dates are guaranteed for overseas orders. On top of that there are risks such as theft, loss and other factors;hence you will find suppliers with limited international service area only to industrialized countries with dependable delivery options.If you want the best price and quickest delivery, place your order between the months March - May. Later you may have to pay for the rush delivery.
Which colors can I choose for my regalia?
Perhaps answer to this question must be asked from the school itself. Most school and universities have their own dressing standards for graduation ceremonies. However some may allow little modifications other may not. Therefore do check with your school. Regarding colors they can be also degree specific. For instance black velvet on the gown is a "default" for any doctoral degree. If you have a PhD, the color of your PhD graduation gown is deep blue (PhD Blue). Often a PhD degree holder will choose to add optional piping in a color that corresponds to the field of study to outline the PhD Blue velvet panels and chevrons. If you hold a doctorate, but not a PhD, your gown velvet choice is black, or the color of your field. Some schools will allow PhD holders to wear the velvet color of their field of study, but this is rare. Check with your school.
