Ross School of Business academic attire. This can be ordered online at www.herffjones.com/college/graduation under Ross School of Business. Attire can also be purchased at three local bookstores: Michigan Book & Supply, Michigan Union Bookstore and Ulrich's Bookstore.

Some students have asked about purchasing "honor cords". While honor cords may be purchased from graduation gown vendors, be advised that final honors calculations are not computed until all grades are submitted (after commencement). This means that students who wish to purchase honor cords are doing so based on their own unofficial calculations, and wearing these honor cords does not carry any official recognition.
