After LMU: Cap and Gown Pick-Up
Tuesday-Thursday, April 9-11, from 10:00AM-6:00PM
Friday, April 12, from 9:00AM-3:00PM
Graduating seniors are invited to celebrate their accomplishments as an LMU student before Commencement 2019. Here, they can pick-up their cap and gown and learn about ways to stay involved as they transition from students to alumni. Students may show up during any of the above days and times and should allow for at least 15 minutes to attend. For more information, visit careers.lmu.edu/afterlmu.
Students are encouraged to visit the University Bookstore (lower level, Von der Ahe Building; 310/338-2889) or go online to order graduation regalia, announcements, sashes, diploma frames, and other graduation and Commencement-related items.
During Commencement Weekend, convenient locations throughout campus will have flowers, light snacks, coffee, and beverages for sale. Specific information will become available closer to the event.
Accessories
LMU merchandise will be available at the University Bookstore. Students are welcome to wear special pins, honors cords, stoles, etc., that are offered by LMU organizations or programs but are not university-sponsored.
Announcements
Personalized graduation announcements can be ordered directly from Herff Jones in Spring 2019.
Class Rings
Jostens ring representatives will be on campus for class ring orders. Look for the Jostens signs posted around campus. For locations and times, contact the Bookstore (lower level of the Von der Ahe Building, 310/338-2889).
Commemorative Footage
Commemorative footage available on digital downloads and flash drives with an unobstructed perspective of the Commencement Mass and Commencement ceremonies will be created by eVid (formally known as Graduation Nation). Go to https://videos.evid.com/LoyolaMarymountUniversity to order.
Diploma Frames
A variety of diploma frames is available for purchase from the University Bookstore.
Flowers
Parents and students will be able to pre-order flowers from Graduation Bouquets and pick them up on campus on Commencement morning. Specific information will be posted in the Spring after it becomes available.
Leis
Parents and students will be able to pre-order LMU Fili Fili, Ribbon, and Kukui Nut leis and pick them up on campus on Commencement morning. Specific information will be posted in the Spring after it becomes available.
Photographs
Professional photographers from GradImages will take students’ pictures when they receive their diploma cover. For more information, contact GradImages (giservice@gradimages.com, 800/261-2576). Approximately four days after the ceremony, proofs of these photos are sent to each student to the e-mail and street addresses the student specified on the back of the name card. Students should write their street and e-mail addresses on the back of their name cards, as they are used to specify where Commencement picture proofs should be sent. It is important that students stay in the same order as when they handed in their name card, since this order determines which proof-photos they will receive.
Regalia
Cap and gown for Bachelor’s Degree candidates can be obtained through Herff Jones (http://herff.ly/lmu). For additional assistance, please contact the University Bookstore (lower level, Von der Ahe Building; 310/338-2889). Students may not wear academic attire from previous ceremonies or other institutions.
At Loyola Marymount University, traditional commencement attire for Bachelor’s degree candidates consists of a black gown and cap, gold tassel, and hood trimmed in velvet corresponding in color to the subject of the degree earned. For example, a student with a major of Civil Engineering wears a hood with orange velvet trim. Please refer to the following list to ensure that you obtain the correct hood to wear at Commencement.
