All Commencement participants must have appropriate academic apparel. The University's supplier for apparel is Jostens. Students are not encouraged to march in apparel obtained elsewhere. All apparel must be ordered during this period in order to ensure availability. If you cannot make either of these dates, you may order your apparel through the University Book Store here at UWB begining April 19.
Tassels are different colors depending on the college or school conferring the degree.
Students receiving a double degree may purchase a tassel for each degree as a souvenir, but are only allowed to wear the tassel of the program with which they are marching on commencement day. These honors will only be awarded if students meet the honor GPA and appropriate credit requirements at the end of Winter Quarter 2001. You may pick up your honor cord in the Office of Student Affairs, Room 160, from April 23-May 18. Please note that students must earn 90 matriculated credits in residence at the University of Washington and at least 60 credits must be graded to be eligible for baccalaureate honors. UW Bothell Faculty Honors will be awarded to students who have earned a 3.75 or above cumulative GPA and who have completed a minimum of 70 graded credits at UW Bothell, with the exception of BSN students, who must earn a minimum of 43 credits.
