Regalia Rental Assistance Program

The Regalia Rental Assistance Program is offered to students who have no means of paying for regalia and would otherwise not be able to attend Commencement this year. It is a limited program, offering students the opportunity to rent their regalia at a discounted rate. To qualify for Regalia Rental Assistance, you will need to complete this Qualtrics form prior to April 15: https://sfsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHOMhPkGkeg1Cnk Please note regalia supply is limited and the program will close before April 15 if regalia supply runs out.

The Dean of Students Office will verify eligibility. Eligible applicants will receive an email with a certificate. Beginning May 12, eligible applicants can bring the certificate to the SFSU Bookstore to rent regalia at a discounted price.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Associate Dean of Students, Mia Reisweber at mreisweber@sfsu.edu.

Guest Tickets

Renting regalia through the Jostens website or through the SF State Bookstore will qualify you to receive up seven (7) Commencement tickets. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the SF State Bookstore beginning May 9, 2025.

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 SF State 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 SF State regalia. All guests need a ticket with the exception of children younger than two years old.
