Cap and Gown Rental Information
Convocation 2012

All cap and gown rentals will be ordered on-line from Herff Jones, Collegiate Cap & Gown Company beginning January 16, 2012. All regalia must be ordered by, Friday, March 16, 2012--after that date the site is turned off. The total rental price is $66.42 ($61.50 plus $4.92 tax). Before proceeding to the order page, please note the following instructions:

1. All Law School graduates, JDs, JSDs, and LLMs, will wear the same cap, gown and hood--see picture in upper right hand corner.

2. You will need your height (in feet and inches) and your hat size. If you do not know your hat size, you can download a hat tape measure from the Herff Jones ordering site or there is a hat tape measure just outside my office as well as a ruler to measure height. Please return it to the same place when finished measuring.

3. Before going to the on-line order site, please print and follow the instructions below:

  • Under "Select Your School Name"--please be sure and select
    "Cornell University Law School".

  • Once selected the next page should give our convocation/graduation date as:
    "Sunday, May 13, 2012"--if a different day appears, you need to go back and select the correct school.

  • When correct date/time appears, continue and select "Order Cap & Gown."

  • Under "Select Appropriate Degree"-it only gives one choice-"JD/JSD/LLM", select and continue, filling in the fields until all is completed.

  • You will receive an e-mail confirmation. Please save for your records.

4. Distribution of the regalia/Bailey Hall tickets/photo and frame is one day only, Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in room G80 --the gowns are not kept or stored here, so they need to be retrieved on that day.

  • If you cannot be there to pick up your regalia, you must arrange for a friend to do so, there are no other altneratives. E-mail me the authorization with name of person picking up regalia/tkts for you (lam32@cornell.edu).
  • Try on the regalia before you leave the pick-up area--it is much easier to make exchanges then as opposed to later.

5. If you miss ordering by the cut off date, the company will be bringing extra reglia in various sizes to the Law School on the distribution date. You need to bring $66.42 plus a $10 late fee in cash/check (total of $76.402). Arrive early for the best selection.

6. If you are not participating in University Commencement (see below), you will turn in the rented regalia following Law School Convocation by 5:00 p.m. Return location will be at the Law School, Room G80.

7. Should you also wish to participate in University Commencement, Sunday, May 27 (and we encourage all students who will be in the area to do so), you may keep your rented regalia for the additional two weeks at no additional cost. The regalia should then be turned in that day to sites listed in the program.
