Cap and Gown for Convocation

Spring Convocation : Postponed

The Convocation ceremonies previously scheduled for June 8 to June 12, 2020 have been postponed. The university is working on an alternative way for graduates to celebrate this momentous occasion. We will provide an update once the details have been confirmed.

The Bookstore continues to offer regalia rentals for $40. To request a rental, please email regalia@uvic.ca with your height (ft), head circumference (inches), degree and requested date of pick up. Please allow at least 3 business days notice. Please see the Cap & Gown FAQ for more information.

Fall 2020 Convocation : November 9th - November 10th

Please reserve online for your cap, gown and hood on or before November 2nd. Payment can be made online (credit card) or in person (cash, credit, debit, ONECard, or Gift cards). After November 2nd, regalia reservations can only be made in person, with cash, debit or credit card at the Senate Chamber at the time of regalia pickup.
