Announcements

You will receive three formal announcements to save or send to relatives or friends. If you wish to purchase personalized announcements you may do so by contacting Jostens.

Cap and Gowns

All students and faculty members taking part in the Honors Convocation, Undergraduate Commencement or Graduate Commencement ceremonies must order a cap and gown. If you have missed the online ordering deadline of March 11, 2012 please contact Claire Morrissey.

All graduating students, faculty and staff who have ordered their robes (cap, gown, and hood) must pick up their regalia at the Commencement Fair in Mulcahy Gym on Thursday April 19, 2012. Graduates from the Rockland Graduate Center may pick up their robes at the Rockland campus.

To order your robes, go to theCommencement page on the Iona website and access the link to Jostens. Enter Iona College and follow the Prompts.

Iona college assumes the cost of the graduation regalia for both faculty and students. Disregard any messages on the Jostens Web site regarding payment. Remember, you have not completed placing your order unless you have received an order confirmation number.

If interested, please call (914) 368-3642 to schedule an appointment. There will be a $10 sitting fee at that time. Please be certain to inform the studio that you are from Iona College.
