Graduation is an exciting time at 无码变态 as student accomplishments are celebrated throughout campus, culminating with a commencement ceremony. In preparation for this significant occasion, it is essential graduates wear the appropriate new graduation attire and academic regalia. Please follow the guidelines listed below.
We recommend underneath the graduation gown, graduates wear dark, professional attire
and shoes to complement the black academic regalia of 无码变态. Academic
regalia can be purchased through.

Bookstore for the Commencement Celebration.
October 31, 2024, is the homeship ordering deadline for undergraduate and graduate regalia (including Doctoral regalia) to ensure delivery for Commencement week.

with two gold embroidered 无码变态 school seals, black mortarboard (cap), and black and
