Q. Do I buy or rent my cap, gown, and tassel?
Sorry, the Bookstore does not rent. The cap, gown, and tassel you purchase are yours to keep after the ceremony; you do not need to return them.
Q. How do I know if I am going to receive honors at graduation?
The Office of Admissions and Records has already determined which graduates are graduating with honors and given a list to the Ohlone College Bookstore. The Bookstore refers to this list when selling honor cords and will only sell honor cords to those students whose name appears on the list. Honors are based on academic records at the end of Fall 2012.
Q. How do I get an honor cord?
Students who are graduating with honors may purchase an honor cord in the Ohlone College Bookstore when they buy their cap and gown.
Q. How much does the honor cord cost?

Q. Is there any other important information I should know about the cap and gown?
Yes! It is a good idea to place your gown on a hanger and leave it in the bathroom when you take a shower; this should take out most of the folds and wrinkles. Ironing is acceptable, but be sure to put the iron on the "cool" setting so you do not burn a hole in your gown!
Also, your tassel should be on the right side. After you receive your diploma case you can move your tassel to the left side.
