If you plan to march in the academic procession for Commencement (Saturday, May 25) and need rented regalia, please place your order online at bowdoinfaculty.shopoakhalli.com. It only takes a few minutes. You may order full (gown/hood/cap) or partial (just a cap and gown or just a hood) regalia. Orders must be submitted by no later than Friday, April 12.

There is no charge for your regalia unless it is not returned following Commencement.

All orders will be processed and shipped together to Bowdoin. You will be notified during the week of Commencement when your regalia is available for pickup at the Events Office, located on the first floor of Coles Tower. Regalia should be returned to the Events Office between Tuesday, May 28 - Friday, May 31 to avoid being charged for it.

Additionally, faculty and staff are invited to attend the Down East Lobster Bake (Friday, May 24) and the Commencement Luncheon (Saturday, May 25). Both events require an advance ticket, which can be reserved using this link. Commencement meal ticket orders close on Sunday, May 5th.  

If you have questions, please contact the Events Office at events@bowdoin.edu or 207-725-3433.
