Academic Regalia

The deadline for ordering regalia is April 1, 2024, for Bookstore pickup.

Academic regalia is required for graduates to participate in the Commencement ceremonies on May 19, 2024. Regalia includes cap and tassel, gown, and appropriate hood for the earned degree. Approved Brandeis regalia is available for online order before the deadline of April 1 for orders to be distributed from the bookstore advance of Commencement.

Cost and Distribution

Graduate student regalia is available for $50. Some graduate programs will be fully subsidizing regalia; the cost on the ordering site will appear as $0 for the regalia. Approved regalia is available through Balfour in partnership with the Brandeis Bookstore. “Ship to School” orders will be distributed by the Brandeis Bookstore in the Shapiro Campus Center from May 6 to May 18. You may also ship to a US address for $12.95 (not eligible for school subsidies). Additional options, including the purchase of a tam for PhD candidates are available.
