Order Your Grad Regalia Now
Order your student graduation pack – including cap, gown, tassel and diploma cover – or other regalia no later than Monday, June 15, to be sure items arrive in time for the big day. We recommend placing your order at least 3 days before this deadline to allow extra time for processing. Visit the campus Bookstore in the RSS Building, or place your order online.
If you need assistance with a cap and gown, the Office of Outreach offers a gown-loan program to help reduce commencement costs. Please note the following:
- Gowns are loaned on a first-come, first-served basis — submit your request early to ensure availability.
- The loan covers the gown only. You will still need to purchase your own cap and tassel from the Bookstore.
- Gowns must be returned by August 3, 2026 to the Office of Outreach, RSS 127 (9am–5pm). Failure to return the gown by the deadline will result in an administrative hold on your student account.
- Once your form is submitted, stop by the Office of Outreach, RSS 127 to pick up your gown.
The Latinx Graduation and Recognition Ceremony was established in 1993 to recognize the accomplishments of Latinx students at De Anza College.
Believing that student success should be celebrated, a small group of Latinx staff members organized institutional and community support to launch this event, which has grown into an annual tradition for students, families and friends.
