Commencement Companion for Guests

Attire

How do I obtain Academic Attire?
The SCU Bronco Bookstore rents Academic Attire for law graduates. Graduates will be notified via the Grad Newsletter when regalia is ready for pick up. Please note, that gowns must be returned to the bookstore in the days following commencement. Failure to do so will result in a delay/hold of receipt of your diploma. 

How do I obtain regalia accessories?
All cords and stoles, except Honors Cords and JD/MBA stoles, are purchased and provided by Law Student Organizations (you may contact your representative for more information). Honors Cords will be given to eligible students upon check-in on Commencement day.
The red Santa Clara University stole is optional for law graduates and available for purchase from the Bronco Bookstore.
