Commencement at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Volunteer spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons studying in Hodges Library, game days at Neyland Stadium, walks through Ayres Hall and the Hill, and singing “Rocky Top” with classmates. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of the Thompson-Boling “ The Summit” Arena shining and the applause of your family and classmates filling the hall, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the orange and white legacy that unites generations of Volunteers.

Bachelor's Regalia Set for University of Tennessee, Knoxville
AU 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 the University of Tennessee includes a mortarboard cap and orange and white tassel with a year charm, specific to your UT Knoxville college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Arts & Sciences, Haslam College of Business, Tickle College of Engineering, College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences, and programs across campus, all while reflecting UT Knoxville’s enduring commitment to sustainability.

Why CAPGOWN Over the Volshop?

Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Vols 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 University of Tennessee commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for UT grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Vols who have had a photoshoot against Tennessee’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.

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

Each fall and spring Volunteers ask the same questions on r/UTK: “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the VolShop?” The answer is here.
