Academy of Art University

Academy of Art University’s commencement is a visually striking celebration of creative achievement where graduates, faculty, and families gather to mark academic milestones in full academic regalia. Held at the SF Masonic Auditorium on May 15, 2025, the university stages separate undergraduate and graduate ceremonies — each featuring the traditional graduation cap and graduation gown, coordinated tassels sets, and specialty faculty regalia for doctoral and faculty honorees. Students are instructed to arrive early for check-in and to pick up caps, gowns, and hooding accessories; the university provides detailed RSVP and commencement-guide instructions to ensure smooth gowning, hooding, and line-up procedures. The procession highlights a tapestry of graduation gown color and hood linings that reflect degree level and discipline, while faculty regalia adds academic gravitas with velvet trims and doctoral tams. Commencement programming typically includes keynote addresses, honorary degrees, and public recognition of student work — all captured in official ceremony streams and recap videos so family members who cannot attend in person can still experience the cap, gown, and tassel moment online. For graduates shopping for graduation attire, authorized suppliers list custom graduation caps, gowns, stoles, and tassels sets compatible with Academy of Art University color requirements; quality academic regalia ensures robes hang correctly, hoods drape properly, and tassels sit securely on the mortarboard. Whether you’re searching for “graduation gown,” “academic regalia,” or “graduation cap and tassel sets,” Academy of Art University’s commencement blends tradition with the distinctive creative flair of its art and design community.
