Graduates: All graduates are required to rent and wear a gown and hood to their Convocation ceremony on May 7, 2016. Graduating students will need to order their gown and hood online on the Gaspard website, www.buildagrad.ca/upei by Monday, April 25, 2016. Students must order by this date to guarantee that a gown and hood will be available for them on Convocation Day.

The cost to rent convocation regalia is $25.00 + taxes (or $30 onsite). Prepaid regalia can be picked up on Friday, May 6 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and on Saturday, May 7 starting at 8:00 am at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, room 114 upon presentation of a UPEI ID and the Gaspard online confirmation form. Regalia must be returned an hour and a half following each ceremony.

Faculty: Faculty who are planning to attend Convocation may order their academic regalia also through Gaspard at www.buildagrad.ca/upeifaculty
