Caps and gowns are required for students participating in a graduation ceremony and may be purchased online or in-person. Online sales take 4 weeks to arrive, and will be available in September. In-person sales will be available at the Emerson Emporium beginning in April 2025.
Students may only wear sashes, stoles, cords, or pins that are awarded by the College. However, there is a robust cap decorating tradition at Emerson, and we look forward to seeing yours!
