Questions about diplomas: askdars@pdx.edu.

WEARING REGALIA All Portland State gowns are black. Bachelor’s degree recipients wear a tassel indicating, by color, the PSU college or school conferring the degree. Dual major recipients wear one tassel, although a second may be purchased as a souvenir. If the majors are in different colleges or schools, the student must decide which major and college or school to use.

The academic cap is adjusted to remain level. The academic gown is fastened in the front. The tassel on the cap hangs on the right side when you enter the Viking Pavilion Arena. After the conferring of all degrees, you will be directed to switch tassels to the left side. Master’s degree recipients wear their hoods throughout the ceremony.

If you have not purchased regalia, there will be a vendor on site, however additional fees will apply. The wearing of indigenous or ethnic regalia is allowed and welcomed at commencement.

PHOTOGRAPHS Photographs of all graduates will also be taken as they cross the stage. A free proof will be sent to each graduate’s home within two weeks of the ceremony. Individuals may purchase prints from the photographer; however, there is no obligation to order photographs.

Family members and friends who wish to take photographs of portions of the ceremony are requested to remain in their seats rather than stand in the aisles. Access to the arena floor for pictures during the ceremony is not permitted. Ushers have been instructed to request that photographers refrain from interfering with the view of others.

DAY OF REGALIA AVAILABLE AT COMMENCEMENT Regalia is available in the Peter Stott Gymnasium which will be used as the Assembly Area for the School of Business where graduates line up. Cash only. Options may be limited and stock may run out.
