Packet materials
The packet consists of the following items:
- Parchment
This is the official documentation of your academic credentials. - Name Card with Seat Number
At the ceremony, you will hand the Name Card to the official reader, who will announce your name as it is printed on this card. The name card also contains your seat number in the Jubilee Auditorium in the lower right-hand corner. This is an assigned seat to place you in the order that graduates cross the stage.
Academic apparel
All individuals participating in the convocation ceremonies at the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ are required to wear academic regalia.
Academic regalia includes a ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ gown, hood and headwear appropriate to the degree being granted which must be rented through Beartracks or at the University Bookstore (during packet pickup times if not rented through Beartracks) for the ceremony. Any form of attire (formal, uniform, business, traditional, or casual) may be worn underneath the gown.
In keeping with the University’s Indigenous strategic plan, Braiding, Past, Present and Future, Indigenous students may wear their traditional regalia in place of the academic gown but they must wear the cap and hood which acknowledges the degree they have earned.
Nothing is permitted to be added to the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ regalia (either permanent or temporary.) This includes honor cords, stoles, shawls or any other adornment.
If faculties, departments or student groups wish to hand out items, they may do so at their own departmental/faculty event prior to or following a convocation ceremony. If these items are handed out before convocation, students must remove them prior to attending the official university ceremony.

- Gown

After the online apparel reservation site has closed (usually three weeks before the start of the ceremonies), academic apparel may still be rented from the University Bookstore during the time assigned to your Faculty as outlined above in the Pick-Up Dates and Times table.
The gown and hood must be returned to the University Bookstore during the times indicated in the Pick-Up Dates and Times table.
