Caps and Gowns

• All students should have ordered their cap and gown online through the BC Bookstore by April 30. The cost to purchase was $75 for the Doctoral souvenir gown, hood, tam, and tassel; the Doctoral premium gown was $226. We anticipate the vast majority of students will use the souvenir gown, but the premium gown is a slightly thicker cloth. Both are suitable for Commencement.
• If you did not order your garb by the deadline, limited supplies may still be available through the Bookstore. Please contact Ben at pinkhabe@bc.edu or 617-552-4923.
• We will distribute your caps and gowns on May 25-27, between 9 am-5 pm, at the BC Law Bookstore. Emergency pickup will be available the morning of Commencement in Conte Forum. If you are not available to pick up during any of these dates and times, please contact Ben at pinkhabe@bc.edu or 617-552-4923.
• Students will be required to fill out the Career Services Office exit survey before being allowed to pick up their gown.
• If you are not attending in person, but would like to participate virtually in Commencement, we will ship your order to you so you will be able to appear on camera in your cap and gown. Please contact Ben to arrange shipping. If you are not participating in Commencement, but would still like to purchase a cap and gown, you may also contact Ben to give him your shipping info.
