Re: Regalia Orders Due Today
Today is the last day to order Commencement regalia online
All graduating students who are participating in the June 13 Commencement ceremony must wear the appropriate Caltech bachelor's, master's, or doctoral regalia. Graduating students should order their regalia (caps and gowns, stoles, and house tassels) online by today, April 18. Click here to place your regalia order online. Students who do not order their regalia online by April 18 will need to contact the Caltech Store directly (citstore@caltech.edu) to order regalia, and there will be no guarantee of size availability.
