There is no charge and it only takes a few moments of your time. If you cannot pick up your apparel, you may ask a friend or relative to pick it up. They would just need your name, approximate height, degree and college.
Undergraduates may retain their “keepsake” cap and gown.
All graduates in law, health sciences, dental, master’s Program (MPA and DPT), the Graduate School of Management and Graduate School (master’s and doctoral degrees) must return gowns and hoods to the representative of the cap and gown company at Fiserv Forum or in the boxes that will be at your individual college ceremonies – caps and tassels may be retained as a keepsake.
