Be aware: the store inventory of available sizes will decrease as commencement approaches, so purchase early for the best size selection.
Every graduating student deserves the chance to celebrate the huge academic accomplishment of commencement. But it’s difficult to celebrate if you don’t have the funds for a cap and gown. The Dean of Students office maintains the Mean Green Gowns for Grads program to support low-income and first-generation students with free graduation cap and gown rentals.
The program is donation-based and continues to grow through the generosity of students, alumni and the community. Bachelor’s gowns are available on a limited basis with some options for master's and doctoral candidates. The application process ends Saturday, March 29.
