 Academic regalia—the traditional cap and gown—is required attire for everyone who has a role in the commencement exercises and plans to sit onstage among the platform party. 

Anyone who still needs to order regalia must do so by April 30 by calling the FIT Campus Store at (212) 217-5690 or emailing Nate Crawford at [email protected] with the following information:  

• Name
• Height
• Weight
• Cap Size
• Highest Degree
• College or University (from which your terminal degree was received)

If orders are not received by April 30, the FIT Campus Store may not have sufficient regalia on hand to meet the demand.
