Caps & Gowns

Caps and gowns for each School and College are sold at the UTA Bookstore. Graduating students must purchase or order their cap and gown no less than 5 weeks prior to commencement in order to assure that their custom tassels arrive in time for the ceremony.

Earth-friendly regalia

In partnership with Jostens, the University's exclusive supplier of academic regalia, UTA provides commencement robes that are affordable, high quality and environmentally friendly. Constructed of fiber made from wood sourced exclusively from renewable, managed forests, the fabric has been shown to decompose in soil in one year. In addition, the coil zipper tape and teeth are made from 100% recycled PET. Earth-friendly packaging contains material that facilitates the decomposition process of the cap and gown bag. Jostens also offers a unique Student Give Back Program. When graduates redeem their regalia hang tag code online, Jostens contributes $1.00 to support sustainability initiatives.

Tassels

Bachelor graduates will receive a complimentary blue tassel with their cap and gown, master graduates will receive a complimentary black tassel with their cap and gown, and doctoral graduates will receive a complimentary gold tassel with their cap and gown.

Traditionally, candidates for a bachelor's degree place the tassel on the right side of the mortarboard until the degree is conferred; tassels are moved to the left side when the degree is conferred. All other degree candidates place the tassel on the left side of the mortarboard, where it will remain.

Honor Cords (Bachelors only)

Any students graduating with honors may purchase an honor cord to wear as a part of their commencement regalia. Honor cords are available at the UTA Bookstore.
