How do I rent my student graduation gown?

Graduating this year? Student graduation regalia (gown, hood and mortarboards) can be reserved online in advance of your ceremony. Appropriate academic attire is required of all participants. Regalia rentals for Spring 2024 ceremonies open on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024.

Missed the online rental deadline? Don’t sweat it! You can still rent a gown on-site on the day of your ceremony for an additional charge. We have enough regalia of all sizes and colours to allow anyone who misses the advance registration deadline to attend. The cost for day-of rental is $75 and payment can be made by Credit or Debit (tax included, Visa, MasterCard and Visa Debit accepted). There is no need to provide us with your information in advance once the online rental website has closed.

To rent on the day of your ceremony, please arrive at the gown pick-up area 1.5 hours before your ceremony start time.
