Commencement at UC San Diego is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Triton spirit. It’s the culmination of moments beneath the eucalyptus groves of Warren Mall, walks along Library Walk, late nights in Geisel Library, and game days at LionTree Arena. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the sun over RIMAC Field 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 blue and gold legacy that unites generations of Tritons.

Bachelor's Regalia Set for UC San Diego
UC San Diego 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 UC San Diego includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm in blue and gold, specific to UCSD’s college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from Revelle College, Sixth College, Thurgood Marshall College, Warren College, Muir College, Seventh College, Eleanor Roosevelt College, and programs across campus, all while reflecting UC San Diego’s enduring commitment to sustainability.

Master’s Regalia Set for UC San Diego
Master’s graduates are distinguished by gowns with oblong sleeves and academic hoods lined in luminous gold satin with a blue chevron signifying UC San Diego colors. Each hood is finished with velvet trim representing disciplines across UC San Diego’s schools. Sustainably crafted from recycled fibers and paired with a mortarboard cap and a blue-and-gold tassel with a year charm, the set embodies both Triton pride and the rigor of graduate study.

Doctoral Regalia for UC San Diego
Doctoral graduates step into UC San Diego’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe black gowns accented with gold or black piping, plush black velvet front panels, and three black velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in UC San Diego’s signature colors of luminous royal blue satin with a bold orange gold chevron, is trimmed in velvet to denote each discipline—Ph.D. blue, JD purple, MD green. 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 the LionTree Arena to future convocations and commencements.

Why CAPGOWN Over The UC San Diego Bookstore?
Unlike the UC San Diego Bookstore, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral regalia in just one business day—at about half the UC San Diego bookstore price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Tritons 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 UC San Diego commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for UCSD grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Tritons who have had a photoshoot against UC San Diego’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.

Tritons can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with the UC San Diego seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many Tritons choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and memorabilia from La Jolla and San Diego that carry the spirit of UC San Diego after commencement into their professional careers.

Each spring Tritons ask the same questions on r/UCSD: “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the UCSD Bookstore?” The answer is here. This page is your Commencement Central, built for Tritons and their families. At CAPGOWN, we don’t just provide regalia for UC San Diego—we help you wear your Triton achievement, carry your blue and gold into the future, and walk out of RIMAC Field not only as a graduate, but as a living legacy of the University of California, San Diego.
