GH Section 17: Graduation Arrangements
Graduation Arrangements
Doctoral Hoods
Every doctoral graduate who attends the commencement ceremony is presented with the ceremonial doctoral hood free of charge. The hood is given by the College of EHHS to celebrate the accomplishments of the new doctoral graduate. Students who would like to own a hood, but do not attend the commencement, may obtain the hood at their own expense.
Candidates who plan to participate in the graduation ceremony must make arrangements to be properly attired in a doctoral gown. The University Bookstore rents and sells doctoral gowns. Whether purchased or rented, the doctoral gown must be appropriate to the degree. When ordering a gown, a doctoral candidate from the College of EHHS should specify that the Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, or Doctor of Audiology degree has been earned. The gowns worn by master's or bachelor's degree recipients are inappropriate attire.
