If you elected to pick-up your apparel on your Commencement registration form, you may pick-up your apparel from the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at Minnesota State. Pick-up dates and times from Barnes and Noble areTuesday, December 2 and Wednesday, December 3 from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
If you elected to have your apparel shipped to you on your Commencement registration form, you will receive your apparel during the first week of December. It is highly recommended that you elect to pick up your apparel or have your apparel shipped to you to ensure the correctness of your order prior to the Commencement ceremony. If, however, you fail to pick-up your apparel ahead of time, you may pick up your apparel from the graduate line-up area on the day of Commencement.
Please note: If you did not elect to have your apparel shipped and you do not pick up your apparel prior to graduation, you will have 60 days after graduation to contact us and make arrangements to receive your apparel. After 60 days, your order will become property of Minnesota State Mankato. No refunds will be offered on orders that are not picked up.
Place the hood around your neck and shoulders so that the major portion hangs down the back. The velvet border of the hood should be on the outside, nearest the shoulders. The black base of the hood, around the velvet, should be smoothed into place as it is positioned over the shoulders and down the back. Fasten the cord in front of the hood to your shirt, dress or gown to keep the hood away from your neck. To expose the lining, turn the velvet border to the outside below your shoulders at the back of your gown. The cord will keep the hood from falling off your shoulders.
Before the ceremony, your college tassel should be worn on the right of the mortar board. During the ceremony, President Davenport will ask for you to move your tassel from right to left signifying the completion of your degree.
