GRADUATION RESOURCES
If you plan on participating in any in-person commencement celebrations, an official cap, gown and tassel is required. A UC Irvine sash/stole is not a required part of cap & gown regalia, and therefore, is not sold by the UC Irvine Alumni Association. Sashes/stoles can be purchased separately from The Hill.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. There are no returns or refunds allowed on regalia or membership packages.
For domestic orders, please allow a minimum of 2-3 weeks for order processing before your order is shipped. Once your order is shipped, your package should arrive within 5-7 business days, pending any service issues from the courier service. International order delivery timeframes are subject to customs as dictated by your government.

General Membership in the Association is FREE to all graduating seniors and grants you access to entry-level benefits, or you can upgrade to paid membership for additional benefits and exclusive privileges!

There is no better time to become a member. During graduation season, the UC Irvine Alumni Association (UCIAA) celebrates your achievement by offering access to exclusive discounted membership packages which include custom alumni gifts not offered at any other time.
“I’m hearing about paid membership what is it?”
Great question! Similar to some of your undergraduate clubs which charge dues, UCIAA has paid levels above General Membership. While being a General Member gets you some benefits, being a paid Annual or Life Member gets you an even longer list of valuable resources and exclusive discounts.

Diplomas are typically available four months after the end of the quarter in which the student graduated. Degrees are posted on official transcripts approximately six to seven weeks after the end of the quarter in which they are awarded. The degree award date is the last day of the graduating term, or for Summer Session, the last day of Summer Session II. Diplomas will bear your name exactly as stated in your UC Irvine academic record.
