You can purchase your graduation package (including announcements) online through Herff Jones from Oct. 3 (8:00 a.m.) until Oct 17 (8:00 p.m.), 2025.
You can purchase regalia through Sun Devil Campus Stores after Nov. 18 until the day of graduation, while supplies last.
You can also purchase your regalia in-person at any Sun Devil Campus Store.
You can borrow regalia! In an effort to encourage sustainability practices, the College of Global Futures has a limited supply of regalia that students have donated after graduation. You are welcome to visit the College of Global Futures Student Services Center to see if we have the regalia you need. We ask that you come in to find the right size and items. You can email CGFgraduation@asu.edu or call ahead (480) 727-6963. We will hold items for up to two business days. Regalia will be available for pick up in person two weeks before your ceremony from the 4th floor reception desk area of WCPH. Please note that we do not have in our inventory the First Gen stole.
Information to Know before you order Regalia:
Commemorative maroon and gold tassels are also available for purchase.
The Stole of Gratitude is an additional option, and is available for purchase.
The First Gen stole is offered to students that are the first in their family to graduate.

Honors Cords are for undergraduates who have earned a 3.40 GPA or higher with at least 56 credit hours of resident credit at ASU. Your current GPA, as verified at the time you request your honor cords, will determine which cords you are given. In-person students can pick up honor cords at any University Registrar Services location. Online students will have their honors cords mailed to them.
Masters Graduating with Distinction - Graduate students who complete a master's program with a 4.0 cumulative GPA qualify for recognition as "With Distinction." This recognition will be indicated on both the diploma and the ASU transcript through a notation of "With Distinction." Please note that this recognition was implemented in the fall of 2022 and will not be awarded retroactively to students who completed their master's degrees before that time. The cumulative GPA for With Distinction recognition is based solely on ASU coursework.
Veteran Stoles are available for veterans of the armed forces that are ASU graduating students. Stoles will be available at the Veterans Honor Stole Ceremony held on December 14 at 10:00 a.m. If you are unable to attend the Ceremony, you can also pick up your Veterans Honor Stole at the College of Global Futures convocation check-in within Gammage Auditorium's student check in area.
Moeur Award: The ASU Alumni Association presents the Moeur Award to undergraduate students who have received a cumulative GPA of 4.0 while attending ASU with 8 consecutive fall and spring semesters.
