Traditional caps and gowns are recommended at all WSU in-person Commencement ceremonies. The Academic Costume Code guides the design of regalia used at colleges and universities nationwide.
Those being commissioned as officers in the ROTC program may choose to wear either their military uniform or a cap and gown.
Undergraduates earning a 3.5 or higher grade-point average are considered honor students and can receive a custom WSU honor cord of crimson and silver. Contact your academic department or college dean’s office for information.
(Neither Herff Jones, The Bookie nor The Commencement Office provides honor cords.)
