Academic Regalia
Review the appropriate attire based on the degree and honors earned
Caps, gowns, and other commencement apparel can be ordered through the NC State Stores website or during the NC State Stores Grad Fair. All regalia and commencement apparel can be purchased in-store at Wolfpack Outfitters.
Distribution of caps and gowns will take place at Wolfpack Outfitters in Talley Student Union. All graduation apparel must be paid for at the time of pick-up. Students must present a photo ID (either student ID or driver’s license).
Caps and Gowns
Bachelor’s candidates wear the NC State red cap and gown. Master’s degree candidates wear a black cap and gown.
Tassels
Bachelor’s degree candidates’ cap and gown sets can be ordered with a white tassel, but the tassel may be purchased separately; tassels do not come with the cap and gown sets.
Hoods
Bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear hoods. Doctoral, Masters and DVM degree candidates do wear hoods. Each candidate is responsible for purchasing his or her personal hood, which may be purchased along with academic apparel at Wolfpack Outfitters.
Honors Sashes
All undergraduate students graduating with honors have the option of purchasing an honors sash. The Academic honors are designated based on a student’s cumulative GPA when entering their final semester, as final grades are not calculated until after Commencement.
