We are so proud of you! Now that you are graduating you are going to need to know a few things to make your special day go off without a hitch. Check out the tips below to make your graduation hassle-free.
Regalia Requirements
Graduates and degree candidates participating in ceremonies are required to wear FSU customized regalia available exclusively through the FSU Bookstore and Herff Jones. The caps and gowns were created specifically for FSU and available for rental or purchase. You may not wear borrowed regalia or regalia purchased from alternative vendors. Decorated caps are not permitted, and you will not be allowed to participate in a ceremony with a decorated cap.
Renting Your Cap & Gown
Rental Orders may be placed on the Herff Jones website. Any late orders will be assessed an expedited shipping fee. For ordering deadlines and details, check the Herff Jones website.
Purchasing Your Cap & Gown
If you would like to purchase your regalia, you may do so through the FSU Bookstore website or in person at the FSU Bookstore. Please note that regalia purchases are custom-tailored and will take up to 8 weeks to create and ship.
