Payment is required when placing an order; this payment is refundable until Friday, August 5. Formal academic regalia are required for all faculty members attending commencement.

Faculty Escorts: Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Education degrees will be assigned an official commencement escort. Faculty designated as escorts will receive a letter from the Office of the Provost with details about responsibilities, assembly time and location for the ceremony.
