Regalia
In honor of the Class of 2021, Dean Callanan and the commencement committee arranged for RUSVM to cover the costs of regalia (Tam, Gown, Tassel, Hood) for the entire graduating class. Please see information below for placing your order.
To place your order, follow these easy steps:
- Go to: herff.ly/ross
- Choose Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine
- Click Cap & Gown
- Choose your degree type from the drop-down menu
- Click ‘Cap & Gown’ tab at the top of the page, fill out your information, and complete the order
The cost will be charged back to the institution. Please note that the deadline to order regalia is Friday, March 19, 2021. We encourage all graduates to order early so you can take photos that we can incorporate into our virtual ceremony!
January 2021 eligible graduates: If you have already purchased regalia, please reach out to the commencement planning team at [email protected] so we can work through a refund process with you. Please be sure to include your order number in your email.
Honors: Honors cords, if applicable, will be mailed by RUSVM to the graduate prior to the virtual ceremony date and will also be printed on your DVM diploma. It is important to note the pre-clinical cumulative GPA through 7th semester is used to determine your honors status and ranking – clinical grades are not factored in. Honors designations and cords are as follows:
7th Semester Cumulative GPA |
Honors Designation |
3.5–3.59 |
Honors (Single silver honor cord) |
3.6–3.79 |
High Honors (Single gold honor cord) |
3.8–4.00 |
Highest Honors (Double gold honor cord) |
Please make sure the mailing address in your myRoss portal is up to date for the mailing of your cords. For further information regarding the ordering of your graduation regalia, contact Herff Jones at (305) 255-0502 or by email at [email protected].
