Cap and Gown: Jostens will be on campus again selling and answer questions on 12/4, but you can always go to the website linked below and buy your gown. The only requirement to walk is the "Cap and Gown Unit" for $65.71 + shipping and handling. This package includes the cap, gown, medallion, stole, and tassel. Many of you have asked about a cutoff date, March 20th is the last date to order if you want to pick yours up at school when Jostens hands them out in April. You can order after that date, however, you may not get them until the night of graduation. Cap and Gown prices will go up after January 1st.
