Student Regalia
UAMS hosts one Commencement ceremony each spring, but regalia may be purchased between August and April. UAMS has partnered with Herff Jones to provide regalia and graduation supplies, including announcements, rings, diploma frames and more. The deadline to order Commencement regalia and supplies online for Commencement 2022 was April 8, 2022, and the ordering website is now closed.
Incorrect Orders: Our office cannot help with order errors, such as incorrect hood, incorrect gown color, etc. Students must contact Herff Jones Customer Service directly at 1-800-837-4235 for resolution.
Missed Ordering Deadline: As a reminder, if you missed the deadline to order regalia, please email commencement@uams.edu and provide the following details as soon as possible and no later than Friday, May 13:
- Full Name
- UAMS ID Number
- Height and Weight
- Academic Program and Degree (e.g., Nursing, DNP)
Regalia Still Hasn’t Arrived: If your regalia order has not arrived by May 16th, please email commencement@uams.edu and provide the same information as listed above. We cannot guarantee that we will have appropriate gowns/tassels/hoods for everyone who might need one, but we will do our absolute best to accommodate. Students are allowed to borrow regalia for the ceremony as long as the gown is black, appropriate for the degree, and includes the appropriate hood where applicable.
Faculty/Staff Regalia
Faculty and staff regalia may be purchased or rented. Faculty and staff may purchase custom regalia directly, or departments may purchase directly. The purchase/rental cost for faculty/staff regalia is not covered by UAMS Commencement. Please contact your academic department’s regalia coordinator for additional information. For a complete brochure of custom faculty/staff regalia information, please send a request to commencement@uams.edu.
