UCLA Commencement Central: Graduation Regalia & Accessories
Commencement at UCLA is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Bruin spirit. It’s the culmination of moments beneath the Jacaranda trees, rallies along Bruin Walk, late nights in Powell Library, and game days at Pauley Pavilion. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of Pauley shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the arena, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the blue and gold legacy that unites generations of Bruins.
Bachelor's Regalia Set for UCLA
UCLA 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. The bachelor cap and gown set for UCLA includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm, specific to your college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Letters & Science, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering, the School of Education, and programs across campus, all while reflecting UCLA’s enduring commitment to sustainability.
Master’s Regalia Set for UCLA
Master’s graduates are distinguished by gowns with oblong sleeves and academic hoods lined in luminous gold satin with a blue chevron signifying UCLA colors. Each hood is finished with velvet trim representing disciplines across UCLA’s schools. Sustainably crafted from recycled fibers and paired with a mortarboard cap and college tassel featuring a year charm, the set embodies both Bruin pride and the rigor of graduate study.
Doctoral Regalia for UCLA
Doctoral graduates step into UCLA’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe blue gowns accented with gold piping, plush blue velvet front panels, and three blue velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in UCLA’s signature colors of luminous gold satin with a bold UC blue chevron, is trimmed in velvet to denote each discipline—Ph.D. blue, JD purple, and MD green. The ensemble is completed with an eight-sided blue 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 Royce Hall to future convocations and commencements.
Why CAPGOWN Over the UCLA Store?
Unlike the UCLA Store, where regalia can be costly and delayed for weeks, CAPGOWN fulfills bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral regalia for UCLA in just one business day—at about half the UCLA store price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Bruins nationwide, our regalia are praised for craftsmanship, comfort, and durability that last well beyond the ceremony. Each regalia set adheres to the strict standards of the UCLA commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for UCLA grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Bruins who have had a photoshoot against UCLA's picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.
Bruins can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with the UCLA seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many Bruins choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and memorabilia from Westwood that carry the spirit of UCLA after commencement into their professional careers.
Each spring UCLA Bruins ask the same questions on r/UCLA, “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the UCLA Store?”, the answer is here. This page is your Commencement Central, built for Bruins and their families. At CAPGOWN, we don’t just provide regalia for UCLA—we help you wear your Bruin achievement, carry your blue and gold into the future, and walk out of Pauley Pavilion not only as a graduate, but as a living legacy of the University of California, Los Angeles.
