The purpose of appointing an academic regalia provider for the University is to facilitate our students to purchase/rent an academic regalia that complies fully with the University’s requirements for attending academic events, including the Graduation Ceremony. However, it is not mandatory to order the academic regalia from the University appointed provider, as long as the academic regalia purchased/rented elsewhere complies with the University’s specifications.
