Step 2 Order Your Cap, Gown, and Tassel

Order your cap, gown, and tassel through Herff Jones. If a black cap and gown are already owned, you must still order your tassel.

Grad Fair is when you will pick up your cap, gown, and tassel while finalizing the Commencement registration process. Grad Fair will be Monday, May 3, 2021, and Tuesday, May 4, 2021, between 8 am and 6 pm in the Atrium on the East Peoria Campus.

Participation in Commencement does not automatically ensure that a student has earned a diploma or certificate. Final grades, and therefore degree certification, are verified as soon as possible following the ceremony. Diplomas will be mailed to the student approximately 6 weeks after all final grades are posted.
