Adler University

Adler University’s commencement ceremony is a formal celebration of academic achievement marked by the presence of full academic regalia—graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard or tam, depending on degree level), tassels sets and accessories—to reflect both institutional pride and individual success. According to the official Commencement Program, graduates wear gowns with linings in the university’s colours burgundy and gold.

The academic regalia serve as visual symbols of the wearer’s level of degree, academic discipline and university affiliation. The ceremony includes processional presentation of graduates, formal conferral of degrees, and participation of faculty and leadership in faculty regalia to highlight academic tradition. The program document describes how bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral gowns differ in sleeve style and velvet trim, emphasizing that the hood’s velvet colour and gown detailing reflect the particular discipline and highest degree earned.

Graduates are instructed in how to wear their cap (square mortarboard or appropriate headwear) and place their tassel properly—the cap, gown and tassel set create the formal appearance expected at Adler’s commencement. For anyone preparing for commencement attire, selecting the correct graduation gown (in the proper style and colour), graduation cap and tassels set—and optionally honor cords or stoles—is essential to align with Adler University’s academic regalia standards and ensure a unified, dignified presentation at the ceremony.
