Once you have registered for your diploma and ceremony, you’ll need to arrange for your gown and hood rental.

Mandatory: All candidates must wear academic gowns and hoods for the convocation ceremony. The academic regalia of all Saint Paul University degree programs include a specific hood for each degree.

Students of Indigenous backgrounds who wish to wear traditional ceremonial attire in the place of an academic gown and hood are permitted to do so without requiring permission from their faculties.

The online gown and hood rental service will be available starting on Monday, April 15, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. EST and closing on Wednesday, May 29, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. EST.

Gown return

Gowns must be returned within 20 minutes after the end of the ceremony.
