As the semester comes to an end, students look back at how their hard work has paid off. For those graduating on Dec. 11 and 12, it’s the submission of their last-ever exam or their application to graduate school that seals it all in.

With a personalized grad cap to wear at Commencement, Spartans make every memory count. Through humor, creative expression, or heartfelt messages and quotes, each cap reveals an aspect of personality that makes the celebration uniquely theirs.

Approaching your walk across the stage soon? Get ahead of the game with some inspiration. These fun designs come in all shapes, colors, and styles.

Many UNCG graduates start their journey as alumni by giving back.

By making a small gift of at least the amount of your class year, $20.25, you help other students complete their degrees.

This gift will also make you eligible to wear a special philanthropy cord during Commencement to recognize your dedication and commitment to UNCG.

Learn more about how to give.
