Congratulations Graduates!

In the effort to remain green on campus, all graduates will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver^® regalia. This line of graduation wear is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic water bottles. 

Each year in the US more than thirty-five billion plastic water bottles are thrown away, enough to circle the Earth four times. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of twenty-five plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown, you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.

Only academic honor stoles, hoods, cords, and medallions approved by the Commencement Committee may be worn during the Commencement ceremonies. All souvenir items may be worn for official photos and after the conferring of the degree.

This website is for students who want their regalia shipped to their residence.

Students may also purachase regalia at the UWA bookstore.
