Caps, Gowns, Hoods and Sashes
Caps and gowns (and hoods, for master's degree students) must be worn by all participating students. It is suggested that you wear dark shoes and other articles of visible apparel that will harmonize with the academic gown. Flowers and decorative jewelry may not be worn on the gown.
