Faculty regalia and convocation information

Rent or purchase faculty regalia and sign up to volunteer

When will I need my regalia?

Each semester, Fulton Schools faculty members participate in ASU graduation ceremonies, Fulton Schools Convocations and occasionally other academic ceremonies where they must wear regalia. If you have regalia from your doctoral institution, you are all set.

If you do not have regalia, ASU provides the opportunity to rent or purchase regalia at a discount each semester.

Plan to carry your regalia in to graduation ceremonies

All graduates, faculty and guests will go through security, including a bag check, when entering the a graduation ceremony.

Graduates and faculty must carry their gown when clearing security. Gowns may be put on after clearing security.

Please plan for lines at the security check and plan your arrival accordingly.

Banners, flags and/or signs of any shape and size are not permitted inside of any ceremony venue.
