If you do not respond to this email, your diploma will not be ordered.

For any questions about confirming your information, changing your name or address, or receiving your diploma, please refer to the Registrar’s Office email. If you cannot locate the email, please contact registrar@bryanuniversity.edu.

Step 2

Don’t forget to register for Pre-Graduation Orientation. Pre-graduation orientation is an online forum that aims to prepare and familiarize various university processes associated with graduation as well as the services available to graduates post-graduation. This is meant to provide tips on the next steps and present an opportunity to ask questions about graduation and commencement procedures.

Order Your Cap and Gown

We encourage all Bryan University graduates to order a cap and gown in preparation for commencement. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure you are prepared for the day. Please note this is an optional item and is not required.

  • Buying a cap and gown is an excellent way for you to symbolize the achievements you have accomplished and display all the hard work you have put in!

  • Students are not required to wear caps, gowns, and tassels when participating in Bryan University’s Commencement Ceremony but it is suggested.

    For Bachelor Degree candidates, you should order the color black
    For Certificate and Associate Degree candidates, you should order the color royal blue.

  • There are two options for ordering a cap and gown. You can order through Jostens or Amazon.

  • Amazon orders can be done at any time prior to Commencement. Please keep in mind it takes 3 weeks to ship if ordering through Jostens, so plan accordingly.
