All candidates for degrees are required to wear appropriate academic regalia. Each advanced degree candidate will have the hood and gown pertaining to the degree to be received. Master's degree candidates will wear their hoods. Hoods for doctoral candidates will be carried over the right arm. The tassel of the cap is worn on the right side by one who does not yet hold his or her first degree, and on the left if a degree is already held.

Candidates should arrange for purchase of academic regalia through the Rutgers University Bookstore as soon as possible.
