What do graduates need to wear?
Ross School of Business academic attire. Beginning in January 2014, this can be ordered online at http://colleges.herffjones.com/college/ross/ under Ross School of Business.
Attire can also be purchased at two local bookstores: 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.
