Cap and Gown

Q: Where can I buy my cap and Gown?

A: Graduation regalia can be purchased online at www.herffjones.com/college/arizonastate until the deadline.

Your local ASU Sun Devil Campus Store will have regalia available for purchase starting at Grad Fair. You can purchase regalia at each store from Grad Fair until graduation.

Q: Where can I find Grad Fair dates?

A. Please click the Grad Fair Information link at www.herffjones.com/college/arizonastate for all Grad Fair dates and times.

Q: Is regalia available for purchase in the bookstore year-round?

A: The bookstore will carry inventory of caps and gowns from Grad Fair until graduation. However, we do recommend purchasing your regalia earlier in the semester as sizes can run low once graduation nears.

Q: The website says the deadline has passed...now what do I do?

A: If you've missed the final deadline, you can still purchase your regalia through any local Sun Devil Campus Store.

Q: I still have my gown from my Bachelors degree...can I wear it for my Masters degree?

A: Unfortunately, you cannot wear the same gown for both degrees. The Masters level gown has an additional sleeve portion that denotes a higher-level degree has been obtained.

Q: What color should my tassel/hood be?

A: ASU has degree color tassels for Master degrees. Masters students will have a degree color hood, as well.

Q: I purchased two tassels. Which one do I wear to the ceremony?

A: Students that purchase a Gradpack will receive a Ceremony Tassel and a Souvenir Tassel. The ceremony tassel will include the ASU Signet. The Souvenir Tassel is Maroon/Gold with a year date signet and is NOT meant to be worn to ceremony.

Q: Do the announcements come with envelopes?

A: Yes, your announcement order will come with the appropriate amount of inner and outer envelopes.

Q: I'm not attending the ceremony, but I'd still like to send out announcements. Is that ok?
