Commencement at Indiana University Bloomington is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Hoosier spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons on Dunn Meadow, late nights in Wells Library, traditions at Sample Gates, and cheering on the Hoosiers at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall or Indiana University Memorial Stadium shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the stadium, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the black and crimson red legacy that unites generations of Hoosiers.

Bachelor’s Regalia Set for Indiana University Bloomington
IU Bloomington bachelor’s graduates cross the stage in the traditional matte black gown, sustainably tailored from recycled fibers, with discreet side pockets and a neckline loop to secure stoles. A hidden front hook allows for either a traditional closed silhouette or an open-front style, giving you freedom to showcase your outfit beneath. The bachelor cap and gown set for Indiana University Bloomington includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm, specific to your IUB college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences, Kelley School of Business, School of Education, Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering and programs across campus, all while reflecting Indiana University’s enduring commitment to sustainability.

Doctoral Regalia for Indiana University Bloomington
Doctoral graduates step into IUB’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe black gowns accented with red piping, plush black velvet front panels, and three black velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in IUB’s signature colors of luminous red satin with a bold white chevron, is trimmed in blue velvet to denote the Ph.D. discipline. The ensemble is completed with an eight-sided black velvet tam, adjustable for fit, and a gold bullion tassel for an added touch of prestige. Each regalia set includes a garment bag and carrying case, supporting not just commencement but a lifetime of ceremonial use, from Hooding in Musical Arts Center to future convocations and commencements.

Hoosiers can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with the Indiana University seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and memorabilia from Bloomington that carry the spirit of IU after commencement into their professional careers.
