Cap and Gown Loan Program
Commencement is the culmination of the hard work and resources students put into their undergraduate or graduate degrees. It is a time to celebrate and honor the graduates as well as recognize the support given by family and friends to reach the day of earning a bachelor's or master's degree.

Note: If a student has already purchased a cap and gown, we are not able to offer refunds.
