Ordering Your Cap and Gown

(Academic Regalia)

There is no fee for your cap and gown when order is placed before March 31. Please keep your cap/gown/tassle as a memento of your graduation day.

By mid-February, graduating seniors receive a packet of information from Jostens via campus mail. This includes order forms for cap and gown, graduation announcements, and other memorabilia, including class rings and diploma frames. If you want to order memorabilia on line, do so at the Jostens web page or by phone, 800-353-5299.

Please return your order for cap and gown at Commencement Countdown, 10a.m.-4 p.m., Wednesday-Thursday, March 17-18, Stamm West, Templeton Student Center.

Graduating seniors not on campus during Spring term, or those who cannot order at Commencement Countdown, may order cap and gown directly via email request to Michael Ford, Commencement Coordinator at mford@lclark.edu. Please specify approximate height and weight when making an email request.

Pick up: Wednesday and Thursday,  May 5 & 6, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., or May 9, 8-9 a.m., Council Chamber, Templeton Student Center.

Remember: The cap and gown belong to you.  Your graduation gown is made from natural wood sourced exclusively from renewable, managed forests.  The fabric is proven to completely decompose in soil within less than a year.  The Eco-Zip coil zipper tabe and teeth are made from 100% recycled PET.  Jostens will donate $1 for each Lewis & Clark gown to an environmental systainability project.  For further information, consult the Jostens web site above.   Please do not return your cap/gown.
