Online cap and gown ordering is now open for those planning to graduate in May, and will continue through April 13. Please make sure that you have filed your degree application prior to ordering regalia. The degree application deadline is this Friday, Feb. 14. If you did not file yet, please review degree application instructions and file immediately.
Undergraduate degree recipients and master's degree recipients will receive custom University of Hartford "keeper" gowns, which do not need to be returned. These gowns with University of Hartford seals embroidered in red are manufactured from recycled plastic bottles. Doctoral candidates will receive a custom rental gown with hood that needs to be returned; the tam can be kept. All graduates will be given a degree-specific color tassel with a University of Hartford "H." Souvenir red-and-white tassels with the 2025 date may be purchased as an option for $12 each.
Also available for purchase will be a Stole of Gratitude ($38), giving you the chance to thank those who helped you on your educational journey. Wear it for the ceremony and then present it to the person who helped you make your dream a reality. International stoles are also available ($47) for students who studied abroad or who would like to recognize their home country.
Honor cords may be purchased by eligible undergraduates only (GPA of 3.25 and above) for $20 each.

-
Shipped to your home (fee applies as noted below)
Undergraduates and master's candidates: $14.90
