Bachelor's and master's graduates
Bachelor's and master's graduates must order regalia online for shipping.

A limited stock of regalia is available for purchase at the Bobcat Store (bookstore) on the San Marcos Campus after April 17.
Hoods
The hood (worn only by master's and doctoral graduates) is a black shell, silk-lined in the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. Check with your program to verify the color, which signifies the field of study the degree was earned, not the academic department.

- Rental deadline for doctoral regalia is April 6.
- Rental deadline for faculty regalia is April 6.
