Caps and Gowns
Custom purple rental gowns designed for Northwestern that feature the University crest are the regalia standard and must be worn by all participating candidates. Tassels feature the Northwestern seal signet and are worn on the left side at all times. Candidates may not alter or decorate their regalia in any way or wear additional articles not directly related to academic merit. Doing so may interfere with their abilty to participate. Advanced degree candidates wear hoods. The lining of the Northwestern hood is purple and gold, and the color of the velvet border of the hood is acorn. Kellogg's tassels are also acorn colored. All degree candidates may retain their cap and keepsake tassel.
