Posted February 26th, 2013 by Kimberly K. BallardMay 2013 Commencement Cap and Gown Orders
Posted February 25th, 2013 by Brian StrunkAll law students (whether participating in the 10:00 a.m. University-wide ceremony and/or the 5:00 p.m. Law ceremony) order their graduation apparel from Herff Jones at https://collegegrad.herffjones.com or http://colleges.herffjones.com/college/louisville/ or https://collegegrad.herffjones.com/capgown/product/2205011. The same apparel is worn by JD students regardless of what ceremony students choose to attend. Students can visit the University Commencement webpage at http://louisville.edu/commencement for information on ordering caps and gowns, but that webpage then directs all students to the Herff Jones webpage for ordering.
The Herff Jones website currently reads that the commencement ceremony is Saturday May 11, 2013 at 10:00 AM. This is being changed to reflect the actual law school ceremony, which starts at 5:00 pm. Regardless, the ordering process remains the same.
