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.
The Regalia Rental Assistance Program is a program that allows for eligible students to rent their Commencement Regalia at a discounted rate, thanks to our partners at Jostens. The program is a limited program, offering students the opportunity to rent their regalia at a discounted rate.
BEFORE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION:
- First, enjoy you have applied for graduation and you are confirmed by the University to be participating in Commencement on May 21, 2026.
- If you do not have the money to rent regalia at full price, first ask family members who are planning to attend Commencement. Explain that regalia is required for you to participate and work with family to cover the cost of the Regalia.
- If you still need assistance after you have worked with you family members, please apply for the Regalia Rental Program using the link below
To apply for Regalia Rental Assistance, you will need to complete this online Qualtrics application form prior to April 1.
The Dean of Students Office will verify eligibility. Eligible applicants will receive an email with a discount code to use when renting their regalia on the Joston’s website.
The program is limited and when it reaches capacity, the program will close. If the program does not reach capacity, the last day to apply is April 1.
