information (DO and DNP students only).
Ordering information and policies
All Ed.D graduates are hooded by their faculty committee chair. Marian University faculty members are responsible for their own regalia.
DNP and DO graduates are able to select a guest hooder. If you select a guest hooder (someone whose office is not in the Evans Center) for the Commencement Ceremony, your guest hooder may choose to either rent regalia, wear their own personal regalia, or not wear regalia and dress in business professional attire.
If you will have a Marian University faculty member hooding you, they will be responsible for their own regalia.
Regalia is directly shipped to students from Herff-Jones if the online order is placed by April 6, 2023. Students should promptly verify that all regalia received is correct. Students should work directly with Herff-Jones if any regalia items are missing or incorrect based on the descriptions below for each degree level.
Associate/Bachelor Regalia: The gown color is midnight blue. The Marian University seal patch will be affixed on the upper left side of the gown. A mortarboard with a navy and gold tassel completes the associate/bachelor regalia. Picture of associate/bachelor regalia
Master Regalia: The gown color is midnight blue. The Marian University seal patch will be affixed on the upper left side of the gown and the gown sleeves are visibly longer than a bachelor gown.
