Regalia is required to participate in Commencement. The cap, tassel, and stole from your rental regalia (stole applies only to undergraduates) are yours to keep. The gown and hood (hood applies only to graduate students), are rentals and must be returned.
Doctoral students must order hood and regalia.
Graduation application fees do not include regalia rental fees. Regalia rental is a separate fee for all graduates.
You may order from the University Bookstore or online from Herff Jones directly. Options are to pick up at the University Bookstore or ship to home. Regalia shipped to home will have a prepaid return label, and should not be returned to the University Bookstore.
Check out the videos on how to wear your regalia!
Order commencement announcements at Herff Jones.
Graduate photos are an important part of the celebration of the day. Professional photos will be taken of each graduate at multiple points in the ceremony by GradImages. Graduates will receive free proofs in the mail or their SIU email address, a few weeks after graduation. Find your SIU graduation photo!
