Our Commitment to Sustainability
UNF understands that the responsibility for sustainability lies in each and every one of us. Our actions, while small, make up part of the overall footprint left by all beings on this planet. In an effort to decrease that footprint, we are using the Herff Jones Class Rental™ caps and gowns for commencement regalia. These are premium-quality gowns which are cleaned, inspected and packaged after each use. Using rental gowns positively affects eventual landfill usage as well as requiring less material and energy than creating new gowns for each commencement.
**Follett and the UNF Bookstore have exclusive rights to buy, sell, rent, and distribute official regalia for commencement.**
Faculty
- If you are participating and do not own regalia, you will need to reserve regalia by clicking the button below. Regalia will be from the institution of your terminal degree. Faculty rental regalia costs will be covered by the Registrar's Office.
- Orders ship directly to the UNF Bookstore and will be available for pickup beginning April 21. Each order includes a shipping label for free return back to Herff Jones during the week following commencement. If you need a new shipping label, you can print one via this page for free.
