Student Academic Attire
Wearing Academic Attire (cap, gown and hood) is both
traditional and required for participation in both the St.
John's University Commencement Exercises and the Doctoral
Hooding Ceremonies.
Academic
Heraldry
Students may keep their academic attire as a souvenir gift from
St. John’s University. Graduate’s caps come with a plain black
tassel. Souvenir red and white 2008 tassels can be purchased at cap
and gown distribution.
Students are advised to try on their cap, gown and hood at
distribution to allow for any changes that need to be made.
