Agnes Scott College’s commencement ceremony recognizes the academic achievement of its senior and master’s degree students with a formal academic procession and full academic regalia.
Graduates wear the traditional graduation gown and graduation cap (mortarboard) along with tassels sets, honour cords or stoles as appropriate, and participate in the ceremonial move of the tassel when their degree is conferred. The College emphasises that regalia should be properly worn—students attend a mandatory rehearsal to learn how the cap, gown, hood (if applicable) and tassel placement should appear.
Faculty members participate in the ceremony in full faculty regalia—gown, hood and cap—underscoring academic tradition and distinguishing faculty from graduates. Though the website does not publicly list detailed colour-codes for gown or tassel sets, the institution’s official colours (Scottie Purple, gold) appear in ceremonial imagery and regalia styling.
For students shopping for their commencement attire, it is critical to select the correct graduation gown style, matching graduation cap and tassel set, and any approved honor cords or stoles to reflect proper academic regalia standards. The combination of the graduation gown, the graduation cap and the tassels sets provides the visual impression of academic accomplishment at Agnes Scott’s commencement, ensuring each graduate presents a unified and dignified appearance.
