Graduation Ceremony

Academic Regalia

Participants in the ceremony should wear authorized caps and gowns. Commencement apparel is available to buy from the USU Campus Store.

Candidates for degrees wear a black mortarboard with a tassel that is a color distinctive of the degree being received. More information about tassel colors can be found at www.usu.edu/commencement#regalia.

Please wear the prescribed academic costume that corresponds to your degree. Each part of the regalia has a traditional meaning specific to your major field, Utah State University, and higher education. Graduate degree candidates are asked to come to graduation ceremonies in full regalia.

Please order your regalia by April 15, 2026, to allow time for shipping. Regalia is not available at USU Eastern.
