Hoods, Caps, Gowns and Parking
Ordering Regalia
All students participating in the Hooding Ceremony must wear appropriate graduation apparel. Orders for caps, gowns and hoods will need to be placed through the University Commencement website. The Registration/Order form will be available in early May. Apparel rental will cost about $70.00.
The regalia will need to be picked up during scheduled times prior to Saturday, June 4th. Each graduate is also responsible for returning the rented equipment.
Parking (subject to change)
You will need to order parking permits in advance for the Hooding Ceremony. These will be available for purchase through the University Commencement website when ordering hooding apparel. Permits will be issued as general passes that can be used for various lots near the Bank of America Center at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
Please allow ample time to arrive at the Arena on time. If you do not purchase a parking permit prior to June 4th and wish to park in the designated lots, parking permits will cost approximately $15 at the parking booth. This will most assuredly create lines and delays and is to be avoided.
Disability Parking
Parking lot E-17 is reserved for disabled guests, particularly those using wheelchairs; handicap decals should be displayed. Lot E-17 is adjacent to the southeast entrance of Hec Edmundson Pavilion, near the Husky dog statue. The attendant in the entrance booth will direct drivers to this area. Ushers in the Hec Edmundson Pavilion will indicate the area reserved for guests in wheelchairs.
**Apparel and parking permits will be available only through web ordering.**
