The WIU University Bookstore is the sole source provider of officially licensed WIU graduation attire.
Undergraduate students will wear purple caps and gowns.
Graduate students will wear black caps and gowns.
Doctoral students will wear black doctoral gowns appropriate for their degree (as well as caps).
The student academic attire is not complete or correct without the cap or mortarboard.
Look inside the mortar board to determine the front.
The mortar board should not be tilted to the left, right or back of the head,
but should be positioned on the head parallel to the floor
so that the tassel can fall straight down the side of the wearer's face.
The tassel for undergraduate degree candidates is hung from the right side of the mortarboard
until the degree is conferred during the ceremony.
For those already holding a bachelor's degree, the tassel is worn on the left side of the mortarboard
Congratulations on completing your studies at Western Illinois University
