Regalia and Robing Information for Candidates
Candidates are responsible for ordering their own regalia using the Degree Application/Graduation Order Form online through Enrollment Management. No regalia will be ordered after April 1, 2009. Candidates requiring regalia after this date must order directly from the vendor. Once they have received their regalia, they should check contents carefully for 1 gown, 1 hood, 1 tassel, and 1 cap. Is hood trim color correct? The MUSC hood color (inside) is gold and black. The trim color can be found in the following listing.

DON'T FORGET!

(It is your responsibility to make sure your name is checked off the list when you receive your diploma immediately after graduation.) Your regalia belongs to you; no need to return it. Your regalia is made to last for several more years.
