Faculty regalia rental deadlines
Personalized regalia orders are scheduled to be ordered from Jostens . Any orders placed after will be put on a waitlist and be filled using extra UNM PhD regalia in the closest available size.
If you have RSVPed to events but would like to cancel your regalia rental, please cancel your regalia orders by for the best chance at successful cancellation. We will do our best to cancel your order with Jostens or reuse your order to fill waitlisted regalia requests, but if we are unable to do so your departmental convocations may still be charged for your regalia if you do not attend Commencement.
