Regalia Rental
Regalia will open for booking between Tuesday, April 23, at 10:00 am and Sunday, May 12, at 10:00 pm. A link to book will be posted here as soon as it becomes available.
Regalia rental is $35 and includes the hat and tassel, which is kept by the student after the ceremony. The gown and hood/tippet will need to be returned after the ceremony. All graduates attending the Convocation Ceremonies are required to wear regalia. Graduates who self-identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit may wear their regalia as an alternative to or in conjunction with Langara regalia.
It is advised that graduates order their regalia before May 12, 2024, to avoid paying an additional $25 late fee. There will be a limited number of regalia available for rental at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on a first-come, first-served basis for graduates. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all students who require this service. Therefore, we highly recommend that all graduates who want to attend the ceremonies order their tickets and regalia prior to the deadline.
If you have questions about renting regalia, please email convocation@langara.ca.
Regalia Guide
It is traditional for graduates, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests to wear academic regalia at convocation ceremonies. Academic regalia has its history in the academic costumes of 14 th and 15 th century universities in England, particularly Oxford and Cambridge. The gown, hood, and mortarboard are the basic items of academic regalia and originally had practical functions. The hood as specifically created to provide protection from inclement weather. Along with the rest of the costume, it now has a symbolic function, its colours and style representing the type of credential and the institution that awards it.
Graduates from bachelor's degree programs will wear a black gown, a hood which drapes around the shoulders, signifying the degree earned, and a cap with a tassel.
Graduates from post-degree programs will wear a black gown, a stole to signify the post-degree diploma or certificate earned, and a cap with a tassel.
All other graduates will wear a black gown, a tippet, which also drapes around the shoulders, and a cap with a tassel.
