Regalia
Students participating in the main USC Commencement Ceremony and the Marshall or Leventhal satellite ceremonies are required to wear regalia. Regalia can be purchased or rented through the USC Bookstore: https://www.uscbookstore.com/commencement
Pictures
Professional Photography
Grad Images professional photography will photograph each student crossing the stage. Students will be emailed a proof of the pictures as well as an order form in the weeks following commencement. Students can pre-register with Grad Images for their respective ceremony:
Undergraduate Ceremony Grad Images Pre-Registration

Personal Photography
Due to fire laws and the policies of the Galen Center, no one will be permitted to stand in the aisles during the ceremony to take pictures. Guests are welcome to take pictures from their seats with camera lenses smaller than 3” long.
The Leventhal Ceremony at Brittingham Field will have a designated photo area for guests to photograph their students after they have crossed the stage.
Commemorative Items
Class Rings, Diploma Frames, Announcement Cards
Class rings, diploma frames, and personalized commencement announcements by Herff-Jones may be ordered through the USC Bookstores website, or from Herff-Jones representatives during their sessions on campus throughout the spring.
Custom Stoles (“Sashes”)
While the majority of students rent (and do not purchase) their regalia, more and more are purchasing a stole (or sash) to wear on Commencement day. Stoles are available from the University Bookstore, and can be ordered with the USC logo or embroidered university seal, and can be customized with fraternity/sorority crests, graduation year, or other commemorative marks.
Yearbook
The El Rodeo Yearbook may be ordered online https://elrodeo.usc.edu/
