Academic Regalia Support

Basic Needs Services and Titan Shops have partnered to help graduating students who experience a current or recent unanticipated hardship or expense the opportunity to receive academic regalia at no cost. Eligible students would receive a CSUF cap and gown ensemble (cap, gown, and tassel; hood for Master’s students only) while supplies last. 

Supplies are limited. Supplies may be exhausted before your request is processed or before the deadline. Students are not guaranteed their requests will be processed and approved. Please note Titan Shops will have regalia available from March 17, 2025 through Commencement.

REIMBURSEMENTS ARE NOT AN OPTION. Your request will not be processed if you already purchased regalia and now seek a reimbursement.

Deadline to apply is 5pm on April 14, 2025.

Academic Regalia Support requests are no longer accepted for Spring 2025.

Eligibility requirements are as follows:

  • Must be a Fall 2024 graduate or Spring 2025/Summer 2025 graduating student.
  • Must be a Bachelor’s or Master’s or eligible credential candidate. 
  • Must demonstrate a current or recent unanticipated hardship or expense (supporting documentation can be included).
  • Student has no other available financial resources.

BEFORE you submit an Academic Regalia Support request, please remember:

  • REIMBURSEMENTS ARE NOT AN OPTION. Your request will not be processed if you already purchased regalia and now seek a reimbursement. 
  • Requests will be processed in the order in which they are received.
  • Answer each question fully and with helpful details. Incomplete, general, or vague responses will not be processed.
  • Students must clearly identify and explain the current or recent unforeseen hardship or expense that has resulted in their inability to purchase academic regalia. Anticipated or known education or job-related expenses, including graduation costs, tuition and fees, unpaid internships, and post-graduation expenses (such as loan repayment, Optional Practical Training, or moving/relocation costs), are not considered an unforeseen hardship or expense.
  • Students can only submit one request. Multiple requests will not be accepted.
  • Students who are eligible to receive academic regalia will be notified beginning April 14, 2025.
  • Please take into consideration requests are not monitored after business hours, on weekends, holidays, and campus closures.

If approved, you will receive further directions on how to obtain your academic regalia. For further questions, please email basicneeds@fullerton.edu.
