Cap & Gown

Commencement Ceremony

All graduates will have the opportunity to obtain their official regalia. Cap and gown information varies based on student type.

Ordering your Regalia

Graduates who have applied to graduate will be added to the official UNCW Herff Jones regalia ordering website approximately three (3) months prior to their assigned ceremony. If it has been more than one week since you applied to graduate AND your assigned ceremony is less than three months away, and you are not in the system, please contact commencement@uncw.edu. 

How to Wear your Regalia

You will be required to wear the appropriate regalia during the ceremony. The appropriate attire under your regalia is business casual or Sunday best.

Jeans, T-shirts, flip-flops, etc. are not appropriate attire for commencement.
