Can I return or exchange my regalia?

Yes, returns on regalia can be made up until the final two weeks before the ceremony. Returns require the items to be in the same condition as when purchased, and you must have your receipt.

If you purchased graduation regalia August 13th - November 6th, 2020, the last day to return is November 20th with original receipt. All sales are final on regalia items purchased ON or AFTER November 6th. MSU Bookstore Return Policy

What do I need for Graduation?

Are stoles required?

Although completely optional, the stole is a nice regalia option that has special significance in the MSU Community. After the ceremony, the graduate may gift their stole to either a faculty member, family member, or close friend who supported them or had an impact on their academic career.

How can I get my cords?

Cords are given to the graduate by their school (School of Nursing, School of Engineering, etc.)

What determines what tassel color I get?

I didn’t get the right tassel color can I exchange it?

Yes, just bring your old tassel in and let us confirm your tassel color with you student ID, and we will take the exchange. No receipt required.

How can I find out if I’m on the graduation list?

The list of graduates for the upcoming graduation comes from the registrar office. Either see them in Montana Hall or visit with them in our store during Grad Fair.
