Regalia Distribution

School of Law regalia will be distributed by the Law Career Development Office in coordination with your scheduled exit interview. Regalia includes a robe, tam, tassel, and hood.

Sign up for an exit interview with Liz Jones in LawQuest beginning on March 17.

Honor cords will be distributed by individual student organizations and/or departments.

How to Wear and Care for Your Regalia 

At least a week prior to Commencement, remove robes and hoods from their package and hang to let wrinkles release. For stubborn wrinkles, hang in a bathroom while running a hot shower to allow the moisture to release the wrinkles, or gently and very carefully use a steamer (test in an inconspicuous place first). 

Tassels are worn on the left side and remain in place throughout the ceremony. 

Check-In on the Day of Commencement

Law graduates should check in with law school staff at the Weinstein Center gym no later than 1:00p.m. on the day of Commencement.
