Regalia fees are already in included as part of the graduation fee. Why do I need to pay for it?
Due to the pandemic, CNU changed the process in 2020. Students will now place their order and pay for their regalia on their own through Jostens. For the Class of 2021, once the Business Office receives a final list of graduating students, they will begin to process refunds.
How am I going to get my regalia refund?
Refunds will be posted to the students account and a check will be processed. Students will then be notified, and they will have the option to pick it up in person or for it to be mailed out.
How soon can I expect my refund?
As soon as the Business Office receives a final graduating list from each college/program, then the refunds will be given. If the list is submitted by mid-April, then the refund is expected to be ready in May.
If graduation is virtual, will I be refunded more of my graduation fees?
Graduation has been confirmed as a live event.
If I graduated in 2020, how do I order regalia?
Class of 2020 students all have been refunded the cost of their regalia if they did not keep theirs, or if they elected not to order one from Jostens. If a student wants to get regalia, they must order through Jostens or a different company.
