Requirements

Caps and Gowns (regalia) are required for all faculty and graduates participating in the Honors Convocation and Commencement ceremonies.

Gown styles differ for Bachelor, Masters and Ph.D. candidates. Associate degree candidates wear Bachelor gowns. All graduate gowns at UNH are black. Masters candidates have hoods with colors that correspond to academic degree. Ph.D. candidates wear a hood specific to UNH. The cap and gown vendor knows what is required and will provide you with the appropriate regalia.

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!
