The University Store invites graduates to participate in its "GRAD FAIR" to order graduation regalia, diploma frames, rings, announcements, and other graduation merchandise. Representatives from Oak Hall Cap & Gown, Exemplar Rings, and the University Store will be available during the GRAD FAIR to provide personal assistance. The GRAD FAIR will be held in the University Union lobby, in front of the University Store, March 3 - March 8:
Mon.- Thurs. 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Saturday 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
All degree candidates or credential recipients participating in the ceremony must wear the correct Towson University academic regalia. Members of ROTC may wear their military dress uniform and member of religious orders may wear their religious attire in place of the academic regalia. If you will be wearing military or religious attire, you must notify Timothy Collins at tcollins@towson.edu. If you do not notify Mr. Collins, you will not be registered for participation in Commencement, and you will not receive Commencement tickets.
To the baccalaureate candidate, perhaps the most important element of academic regalia is the smallest--the tassel. Traditionally, it is worn on the right side of the mortarboard until the President, during the ceremony, formally confers upon the recipients the degree. The tassel is then moved from the right side to the left side of the mortarboard. This act symbolizes the recipient's new and well-earned status
Corsages or other adornments should not be worn on the regalia, nor should regalia be altered or modified in any way. Appropriate clothing should be worn beneath the regalia. Those who are not dressed properly will be asked to leave the assembly area and will not be allowed to participate.
For information on rental regalia contact the University
Store.
For information about the rental or purchase of regalia contact rschmidt@towson.edu.
