In the effort to remain green on campus, all WCU students will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver® or NuHorizon® regalia. These lines of graduation wear are made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Each year in the US more than 35 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away, enough to circle the Earth four times. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of 25 plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown; you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.
Since 2013, West Chester University has helped to divert OVER 629,725 plastic bottles from landfills!
You will not be charged for your cap, gown, hood, and tassel. These items were included in your graduation fee, but you are responsible for the $15.95 shipping fee. Please note that it takes three weeks to ship the cap and gown directly to you.
The deadline to submit your cap and gown order for the December graduation to ship to your home is April 7, 2024.
*Please note: Group orders will not be accepted. Only one complete package may be purchased per order.*
Online ordering is now closed.
