Graduates Can Get Regalia Now!

We’re looking forward to welcoming back our graduates to campus for Commencement 2020 – and graduates can order regalia now!

Geneva College is paying for shipping of regalia to our traditional undergraduate students, who would normally have been on campus to pick up their commencement regalia. Regalia can be ordered through the Campus Store website. While shipping will appear to be added on to your bill when you place the order, you will only be charged for the regalia itself; Geneva will be billed directly for all shipping costs.
