Regalia FAQs

  • What do I need for commencement?

  • What gown size should I get?

Please add your approximate height and weight in the order notes section at checkout. If you are in need of any accommodations for gowns, please leave any notes in the order notes section at checkout as well.

  • What color tassel/hood do I receive?

Tassel and hood colors represent the different Colleges at UCCS. An example: graduating with a Bachelors in Biology - you will receive a white tassel as the degree is in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Please add the degree you are receiving in the order notes. If you are graduating with a dual major, you are able to walk in both respective colleges' ceremony and receive both tassels.

The Souvenir Tassel is not eligible to walk in the commencement ceremony nor will it be eligible as a substitute for the regular tassel.

  • Where do I get my cords?

Honors cords are received at the commencement ceremony. Any other cords (ex.: First Gen, Veteran Fairs, etc.) are given out by other respective departments.

  • Rental Regalia?

No, the UCCS Campus Store does not offer rental regalia.
