Gown styles differ for Bachelor, Mastesr and Ph.D. candidates. Associate degree candidates wear Bachelor gowns. All graduate gowns at UNH are black.

Graduation Cap

Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program

The caps and gowns provided by the University's vendor are made of UltraGreen, a medium weight, wrinkle-resistant fabric manufactured using recycled plastic bottles.

UNH also participates in the Green Grad program. At the conclusion of the Commencement ceremony, graduates will have the option to donate their gown to be cleaned and repackaged for reuse. Caps, tassels and hoods are yours to keep!
