Caps and Gowns

Caps, gowns, and tassels are provided at no charge to graduates. They will be available on campus from Monday, July 1, through Friday, July 5, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Instructions on how to collect them will be provided closer to these dates.

Note that this is the only opportunity to pick up caps and gowns. They will not be available on commencement day.

You will have time after the ceremony to have your photo taken in your cap and gown. Before leaving, you must return your cap and gown (baskets will be set up), but you may keep your tassel as memorabilia of this occasion.

Getting Your Diploma

When you walk across the stage to receive your diploma, don’t be surprised to find you have been handed just a cover, with no diploma inside. Since final grades will not have been posted yet, actual diplomas are not distributed at the commencement ceremony. Instead, if you have been approved to graduate in July, your diploma will be mailed approximately 12 weeks after the ceremony to the address you will provide.

Diplomas will include your name, degree, and any honors received. The Office of the Registrar will order your diploma using the name entered in the database when you were admitted to Berklee, unless you have indicated differently. Since all diplomas will be mailed, please be sure the permanent address on file with the Registrar’s Office is correct.

Apostille Requirements

If you have any questions regarding getting an apostille for your diploma, contact academicaffairsvalencia@berklee.edu.
