Regalia
Have you gotten your regalia yet? Regalia can no longer be ordered online and must be purchased through the Gear Shop. The Gear Shop is located on the first floor of Whitaker Campus Center, and is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you are unable to come to campus before commencement, the Gear Shop will ship the regalia to you, for a flat shipping fee of $9.99. Orders can only be placed via phone; the Gear Shop's number is 301-696-3480.
The information you'll need to tell them is:
- Your degree type (bachelor's or master's)*
- Your major
- Your given size will be based on height and/or weight
* Doctoral students should be working with Sonia Bowie on regalia.
Orders placed after May 10 will be not be shipped. Orders can be picked up the morning of commencement.

Strawberry Breakfast Tickets
Severe Weather Tickets
Commencement will only be moved indoors in the event of severe weather. Severe weather is classified as high winds, lightening or other conditions that will put our graduates and guests at risk. We will do everything possible to hold commencement outside, including shortening the ceremony or delaying the start time.
In the event that is not possible, each graduate is entitled to three tickets. The ceremony will be held in the Volpe Athletic Center and live-streamed in other buildings on campus.
Tickets can be picked up at the switchboard in the Whitaker Campus Center.
