The NKU Bookstore will not accept returns after Sunday, May 5 (regalia must also be in the original packaging). 

The only required pieces each bachelor degree candidate must have are a cap, gown and tassel.

Master candidates must also have a hood in the color corresponding to the field of study.

Doctoral regalia must be specially ordered. Doctoral candidates will receive notification from their program director with order and pricing information. 

The white stole of gratitude is optional.
