Graduates who would like to wear regalia or regalia accent pieces that honor their cultural heritage are encouraged to do so. If you have questions about the different parts of your regalia and how they are worn? Be sure to check out the Guide to Pacific Commencement Regalia video.

Graduates, if you're looking for a resource to enable your grad cap to fit securely with your hairstyle or abilities (such as cochlear implants), Grad Cap Remix offers some options to consider.

Arrive Early

Graduating students will gather on the lane between the Washburne University Center and the Tran Library at 8 a.m. prior to the ceremony to line up for the processional. You can find a campus map here. Plan to arrive early with your water bottle and wearing your regalia, except for hoods, which should be carried. What To Expect When You Walk
