Regalia Accessories
The only regalia accessories endorsed for Harvard University’s Commencement Exercises, including the HES Commencement Ceremony, are University-provided regalia accessories (such as a pin, tassel, cord, etc.). No regalia accessories can be created by students or student-run organizations. Those who attempt to sell unapproved academic regalia — including stoles, pins, tassels, cords, etc. — may face exclusion from Harvard commencement events.
Please be advised that graduates who wear regalia accessories not provided by the University must remove these before participating in all Harvard Commencement events.
