Graduates wear a lightweight black gabardine robe with braided crimson piping, along with a mortarboard cap. Undergraduate (bachelor’s and associate) gowns feature a closed front and open sleeves; master’s and doctoral gowns follow traditional academic‑dress designs (long sleeves or velvet‑paneled doctoral gowns) as described in the official commencement program.

Undergraduates also receive and wear a “Stole of Gratitude” — a crimson stole bearing the university seal, as part of their regalia.
