Regalia

Cap, gown, and more

Traditional caps and gowns are recommended at all WSU in-person Commencement ceremonies. The Academic Costume Code guides the design of regalia used at colleges and universities nationwide.

Those being commissioned as officers in the ROTC program may choose to wear either their military uniform or a cap and gown.

Tips for wearing regalia

Wear tassels on the right side.
Remove academic caps during the posting of the colors and national anthem.
Wear your stoles, sashes and cords underneath the crimson and gray University yoke. Pull the yoke up snug to your throat with no sagging or gaping (To do this, reach around to the back and pull the end of the yoke down).
Doctoral candidates: remove your tam during hooding.

Honor cords

Undergraduates earning a 3.5 or higher grade-point average are considered honor students and can receive a custom WSU honor cord of crimson and silver. Contact your academic department or college dean’s office for information.

(Neither The Bookie nor The Commencement Office provides honor cords. They are provided by your college unit/department)
