3) Cap and gown rentals from CCAT
Rent a cap and/or gown from the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology for the Fall semester commencement ceremony on December 14th, and/or for Grad Photos! This semester, we are renting out caps for $5, and gowns for $20. We have gowns available for you to pick out and rent in a variety of sizes, available on a first-come-first-served basis. To rent a gown, simply come to the CCAT Classroom with a rough estimate on your height and measurements for the garb you need. Students can buy the gowns with cash, or by scanning a provided QR code and paying digitally. Students must provide their name, email, student ID, and phone number to CCAT in order to rent out a cap or gown. There will be several dates for gown purchase and pickup:
- Tuesday, December 6th, from 12-3pm.
- Thursday, December 8th, from 2-5pm.
- Friday, December 9th, from 9-3pm.
If none of these dates work for you, reach out to CCAT via our email, ccat@humboldt.edu, or by Instagram, @ccat.humboldt. We may be able to coordinate with students for alternate gown pickup days with a heads up.
After Graduation, we are requesting students return their rented garb to CCAT by December 21st, one week after graduation. Returning the rented gowns to us ensures more students in the future have access to affordable graduation regalia - please keep this option available to as many students as possible by returning your rented gown to us!
