What to Wear

Your appearance at graduation is very important— you’ve earned center stage!

  • Men: White dress shirt with a dark tie and dark dress pants. Black dress shoes are preferred, but not required.
  • Women: A simple, modest, lightweight dress or a blouse paired with dark dress slacks.
  • Graduates will walk a moderate distance during the processional, so wear sensible shoes—tripping can be painful and embarrassing.
