Master’s program graduates wear caps, gowns, and hoods that visually distinguish them from undergraduate regalia and represent the specific academic discipline of their degree. Master’s graduates purchase their regalia through a vendor coordinated by the College. Messiah College has partnered with University Cap and Gown for master’s level regalia this year. The complete outfit includes the gown, cap, tassel, and master’s hood. A portion of the hood will be colored according to your program so be sure to mark the specific degree you are earning on the order form.

You will have the option to either purchase ($71.50) or rent ($26.00) your regalia. Students are responsible for the shipping and handling costs. Payment can be made online using Visa, MasterCard or Discover.

If you are renting your regalia, when placing the order, be sure that the box is checked for the “Return Shipping Label.”  There is a $10 charge for this label but it makes the return process much more convenient. Once the order has been submitted an email confirmation will be sent to the email address entered. In-stock orders will be shipped within 48 hours of the order being placed. The deadline to order is 4-6 weeks before the graduation ceremony. Packages can be delivered by UPS Ground or UPS Air, though there are no Saturday deliveries.

Please allow plenty of time for delivery, as you will be unable to participate in the commencement ceremony without your regalia. Also, when your regalia arrives please check that you have received the appropriate hood color: pink for the Master of Music in Conducting; light blue for Master of Arts in Counseling, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Art Education, or Master of Arts in Higher Education; and scarlet for Master of Arts in Youth and Young Adult Ministries. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Daisy Anderson at anderson@messiah.edu or (717) 796-1800, ext. 2100.

 

If you rent your regalia, the tassel is yours to keep, but you are responsible for returning the cap, gown and hood. Following the graduation ceremony, place your items in the same box in which you received them, attach the return shipping label, and  drop off anywhere that ships UPS.  If you did not order the return shipping label with your regalia, you must make your own arrangements to process at the shipping vendor of your choice.
