Tickets Required?

No

Cap and Gown Required?

No. You can wear whatever you want! This is your graduation. Queer folk are often "required" by work, school, family, culture, etc. to dress in ways that do not necessarily reflect our style. All of our clothing has cultural significance, but sometimes we want to wear cultural regalia that honors our history, ourselves, and the moment. So...If you wish to wear the cap and gown, wear it. If you want to appear in drag, do it. If you want to dress up or dress down, go for it. This is your night. All of your identities are celebrated as is the awesomeness that is you and our UW queer communities! To request disability accommodation, contact the Disability Services Office at 206-543-6450 (voice), 206-543-6452 (TTY), 206-685-7264 (fax), or dso@uw.edu preferably 10 days in advance.
