Can't pick up in person?
If you cannot pick up your order yourself, and wish to have someone else pickup your order for you, you can do so by using the Bookstore website to specify a pickup person. At any time, up until the graduation ceremony, you can specify a pickup person by going to "My Account", clicking on your graduation order and clicking on the "Specify Pickup Person" button near the bottom.
Gown and Hood Return
You will be provided with a gown return ticket when you pick up your gown. This ticket will help to facilitate a smooth return. Put either your student account number or your gown order number on the ticket and hand it back with your gown to avoid having to wait to log your information separately. A good rule of thumb is to tape the ticket to the inside of your cap.
