Academic Regalia (Bachelors)
The academic regalia for students receiving their bachelor’s degree has been changed from the standard black to navy blue, which is one of Vanguard University’s school colors. All graduates receiving their bachelor’s degree must wear the navy blue academic gown, hat, and hood at the Commencement ceremony. Graduates who have not purchased their academic regalia, must do so through the university’s bookstore by Wednesday, May 2, 2012.
If you have questions, please contact the bookstore at foundersclerk@vanguard.edu or by phone at (714) 556-3610 x4713.
Wearing the Academic Hood
Instructions for placement of academic hood. The academic hood will be worn at the Commencement ceremony only.
Attire
Dress attire under the academic gown should be fairly formal. Please do not wear jeans or shorts. It is advised that you not wear jackets or heavy clothing. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking, going up and down steps/ramps, and standing. Given the occasion, please do not wear athletic shoes or casual flip-flops.
