Place your cap and gown order online through the Jostens website
Cap and gown orders need to be placed online. The Jostens website is now open or ordering. Order your cap and gown here. It closes on Tuesday, April 14 at 9:59 p.m. Regalia orders placed online by April 14 will arrive in time for the Commencement ceremony. Regalia rented online will come with instructions to print a prepaid UPS return label to make sending your regalia back to Jostens easy. Please hang on to your shipping box to mail back your regalia.
Guest Tickets
Renting regalia through the Jostens website or through the SFSU Bookstore will qualify you to receive up to seven (7) Commencement tickets. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the SFSU Bookstore beginning May 8, 2026. You can have someone else pick-up your tickets or regalia if needed. Have them bring a copy of your student ID and regalia order confirmation to the SFSU Bookstore ticket pick-up and let the staff there know you are picking up on a graduating student’s behalf.
Graduates do not need a ticket to enter as long as you are wearing SFSU regalia rented through Jostens for the 2026 Commencement. You need one ticket for every person entering Oracle Park with the exception of children younger than 2.
Custom Stoles
Collegewear custom stoles are available for purchase.
