Students
Students can now rent or purchase regalia through
BU Barnes & Noble! Please keep in mind the deadlines outlined on
this page, most notably
April 1 as the
absolute final date to order doctoral regalia.
If you are being hooded by a family member, mentor, sibling or friend who is NOT on the BU Medical School faculty, you will need to rent doctoral regalia for your hooder.
All students must complete the Commencement Questionnaire by February 17 so the school can project attendance and confirm faculty regalia orders.
The Questionnaire has closed. If you have any questions about your RSVP for the May 18 ceremony, please contact Nichole Ciccarelli (ngcicca@bu.edu)
