It’s time to order your Commencement 2017 regalia

Commencement will be held on Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 2 p.m. in the gymnasium. All faculty, administrators, and staff are invited to wear commencement attire. Your participation is encouraged as a tribute to the dedication and achievements of our 2017 graduates.

The deadline for ordering caps and gowns is Monday, May 1. You can go online to Herff Jones Cap and Gown to order your commencement wear. The vendor has set up an online ordering system that is very easy to complete for PC users, and somewhat slower for Mac users.

All Users:
Customer number (46000591000) and the order number (#3852905).

Your order must be submitted no later than Monday, May 1. The College covers all rental expenses for regalia ordered and returned by the established deadlines, but not thereafter.

If you ordered during the past year:

  1. Scroll down to your name under “Faculty Name” to verify or edit your size and degree information. (NOTE: Support staff and administrators are also listed under “Faculty Name”).
  2. If no changes are necessary, click on Finished”.

For first-time orders:

  1. Anticipate a short system delay to place your order; there may be a delay from the time you select “New Faculty Member” and click “Continue”.
  2. Please be sure to click “Confirm” when you’ve completed and verified your order.

You may also order through Lisa Smith in the Student Leadership Center via email at lsmi@shoreline.edu. We do encourage you, however, to try the Herff Jones Cap and Gown online order system first.

Please mark your calendar to pick up your commencement wear between June 5 and June 9th, but no later than Friday, June 9th by 3 p.m., in the Student Leadership Center, PUB 3rd floor. After that time, you may pick it up on the day of Commencement at the Issue Room in the lower level of the gymnasium, between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m.

After the commencement ceremony, we encourage you to wear your regalia to the reception for pictures with students. It is imperative that all caps, gowns, and hoods be returned on Sunday, June 11, at the conclusion of the ceremony at the drop-off area in the PUB, room 9202. We must ship the commencement wear the following day in order to avoid late charges.

Please contact Lisa Smith at (206) 546-5862 or lsmi@shoreline.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

For both these performances, this our students’ time to shine in the spotlight and to have an opportunity to perform in front of their peers. This is an invaluable experience for our students to build confidence musically through focused preparation, and the opportunity to perform in front of an audience helps them develop their stage presence. Everyone is welcome to attend in support of our student performers.
