CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!

With Commencement right around the corner, here are some frequently asked questions about Regalia that will hopefully make getting ready as smooth as possible.

All graduates participating in the 2025 MIT Commencement ceremonies MUST wear regalia and MUST use the Commencement section of the MIT Atlas app or atlas-apps.mit.edu to indicate whether they will be ordering it from the MIT Coop. Before using the MIT Atlas app to indicate your regalia plan, make sure you have the latest version of the MIT Atlas app installed on your mobile device or desktop. The MIT App Store has links to download or update the app from the Apple, Google, and Windows app stores. Questions about the MIT Atlas app should be directed to atlas-app@mit.edu. 

Regalia options for graduates

You have three options for obtaining your regalia:

OPTION 1: Order your academic regalia from the MIT Coop using the Commencement section of the MIT Atlas app or atlas-apps.mit.edu by Friday, April 25 to avoid a late charge. The last day to place or cancel an order to purchase custom PhD regalia is Friday, May 2. The last day to place or cancel all other regalia orders is Friday, May 9. 

OPTION 2: Borrow academic regalia or purchase from an alternate vendor and indicate using the MIT Atlas app or atlas-apps.mit.edu that you will not need to order regalia from the MIT Coop.

OPTION 3: Those who are receiving advanced degrees and are in active military service may wear the prescribed dress uniform instead of academic regalia. (Undergrad ROTC candidates: you wear cap and gown for Commencement.)

PHD/ScD candidates: your Doctoral hood will be provided to you by MIT….you do not need to order
