A cap and gown are required to participate in the commencement ceremonies. Caps and gowns can be reserved through the Auburn University Bookstore for $59.95 for undergraduate students, $98.10 for master’s students, and $185.30 for doctoral students. Payment is required at the time of order. No refunds are given. Caps and gowns are yours to keep.
Doctoral students might find this how-to video helpful when wearing doctoral hooding.
Attire
In addition to the black robe, men should wear dress pants (preferably dark) and dark shoes. No jeans, athletic shoes, or sandals. Women should wear a dress, a top with a skirt, or dark pants (no jeans). Please wear flats or wedges.
Undergraduate students should place their tassel to the right of the mortarboard (cap). You will be instructed to move it to the left side near the end of the ceremony.
Graduate students should wear the tassel on the left side of the cap.
Students might find this how-to video helpful when wearing the tassel and cap.
Honor Cords
The university issues gold honor cords to any undergraduate students who are potentially eligible for Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Summa Cum Laude. Issuance of an honor cord does not confirm a final certification of graduate honors on your diploma or transcript. Official honor certification is finalized after the commencement ceremonies once the degree audit is complete. You can read more about graduation honors here.
Graduates who should receive their honor cords can ask for one at the bookstore when they pick up their regalia.
