Convocation Cap Size Guidelines

 

We want your cap and gown to fit you properly. We need your height, weight, and cap size. This information is kept confidential and ensures a proper fit.

How do I choose my cap size?

Cap size is based on the circumference of your head. To determine your proper cap size, you must take a measurement of your head.

Using a tape measure, measure your head about ½-inch above your eyebrows where your cap will rest. Be certain that the tape measure is straight, not twisted. Alternatively, you can use a piece of string to measure your head, and then measure the length of the string with a ruler. If you are not certain about size, or are between sizes, order the larger size.

Use the chart below to determine your cap size based on the measurement you take.
