I lost my original Masters regalia in a family move and I am speaking at a commencement next week. I am thankful I can replace all of it from your selections and I can get overnight shipping which is perfect. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is doctoral regalia?
Doctoral regalia refers to the academic dress worn by doctoral degree recipients at graduation ceremonies. A standard set includes a doctoral gown, a hood lined in the university's colors, and a tam cap with tassel. The style and colors follow guidelines set by the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume.
How is doctoral regalia different from a master's or bachelor's gown?
Doctoral gowns are distinguished by velvet trim on the front and sleeves, bell-shaped sleeves, and a longer, more formal silhouette. The hood is also larger and more elaborate than those worn at the master's or bachelor's level.
What size doctoral regalia do I need?
Sizing is typically based on your height and weight. Our size guide on each product page will help you find the right fit. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort during your ceremony.
How far in advance should I order doctoral regalia?
We recommend ordering at least 2–3 weeks before your commencement ceremony. Standard shipping takes 5–7 business days, leaving time for any adjustments if needed.
Do you offer doctoral regalia rentals?
Yes — Grad Store offers both purchase and rental options so you can choose what works best for your budget and needs.
Can I order doctoral regalia for a specific university?
Yes — we carry university-specific regalia for many institutions across the U.S. Browse our collection by university to find regalia with your school's official hood colors and styling.
