Ordering FAQ

How do I go about ordering my cap and gown?

If you are applying for graduation, you will be instructed to order your cap and gown during the application process. If you applied for graduation during a different semester, or if you did not order your cap and gown when you filled out the fall graduation application, you will need to place your order via the Student Full Packages link at the following website https://commerce.cashnet.com/ohiocapgown.

I just need a cap, tassel, and/ or hood. How do I order an individual item?

Visit https://commerce.cashnet.com/ohiocapgown, and click on Student Individual Pieces. There, you can choose the item or items that you need.

I have a cap and gown from my High School, Undergraduate, or Master's graduation - can I just wear that?

The cap and gown fabric and shade of black are specific to OHIO University, so you may not wear regalia from a graduation ceremony at another institution. Also, the gown style is different for each level of degree earned (Undergraduate, Master's, Doctoral), so you will need to order the appropriate cap and gown associated with your degree.

Does my order include the tassel and/or hood, or do I have to order those separately?

Your package includes a cap, gown, tassel and hood (if earning a graduate-level degree). You do not need to order a tassel and/ or hood separately.

What if I am earning two degrees and want a tassel for both degrees? (Applies only to Undergraduate students.)

You will need to place a separate order for a second tassel. The cap and gown package includes only one tassel, even if you are earning two degrees; however, be sure to verify the tassel color associated with each degree as some degrees within the same college have the same tassel color.

Why isn't the charge for my cap and gown order showing up on my e-bill?

If you placed your order through our Cashnet site you were instructed to pay with a credit or debit card, so your student account will not be billed. If you ordered through the spring graduation application your bill should show a total of the $50 graduation fee as well as the package price for the regalia needed for the ceremony. E-bill's do not itemize the purchase.
