please follow the steps below
STEP 1 & STEP 2 are MANDATORY and MUST be completed if you are attending
all deadlines are firm; requests after will not be considered

Rent Regalia

• Use your Michener ID # (P000xxxxxx) to access our academic regalia supplier Harcourts rental site during the period from Monday, April 7 at 8:00am through Sunday May 11 at 11:30pm
• This deadline (Sunday May 11) is final; requests after this date will not be considered

• There is a one-time, non-refundable* fee of $50 + taxes payable when you rent your regalia
  * exception will be made should a registrant later be found ineligible to graduate.

Regalia Standards

• • The academic regalia of all Michener Programs includes a gown and a hood. Caps (mortarboards or tams) are not part of Michener’s regalia and are not worn.
  • Academic gowns are not very breathable and when combined with high temperatures /humidity can lead to overheating; dress lightly so you are comfortable during the event.
  • Stoles
    • while stoles are sometimes worn as an expression of one’s culture or heritage, they are not part of Michener’s approved academic regalia and may not be worn during the convocation ceremony.
  • Indigenous Graduands
    • in this context, Indigenous peoples include the First Nations, Inuk (Inuit), and Métis peoples of Canada
    • Michener normally requires all graduands to wear an academic gown and hood when crossing the stage at convocation. However, if an Indigenous graduand wishes to wear their traditional Indigenous regalia in place of the academic gown they are very welcome to do so.
    • Michener’s academic hood, the colour and style of which corresponds to the academic credential earned, must be worn. The hood is the recognition of the graduating student’s academic success and a critical part of the academic tradition. It signifies admission into a community of scholars, and as such must be worn with one’s traditional Indigenous or academic regalia.

• Use your Michener ID # (P000xxxxxx) to reserve your place via Eventbrite and claim up to 2 guest tickets during the period from Monday, April 7 at 8:00am through Monday May 12 at 11:30pm
