Deadline – April 24, 2022
The initial deadline to order regalia was April 1, 2022. Regalia can still be ordered but will incur a late fee of $10 per order. No orders will be accepted after April 24, 2022. Ordering late jeopardizes the appropriate delivery of regalia. Students MUST have regalia to walk in the ceremony without exception.
