Albion College celebrates its annual commencement ceremony with formality and tradition, holding the event on the campus Quad in front of Kresge Gymnasium, typically in early May.
Graduates don the authorized academic attire: the designated graduation gown, a matching graduation cap (mortarboard), and the official cap and gown tassel reflecting the graduation year. Likewise, faculty and academic leadership participate in full academic regalia, including gowns, hoods and caps that reflect their discipline and rank, supporting the ceremony’s scholarly tone. The correct graduation gown color and coordinated accessories are emphasized to ensure a unified, dignified appearance. The order of events—a processional in full regalia, conferral of degrees, address by distinguished speakers, and recessional—takes place while all participants are in correct academic dress.
The ceremony is livestreamed so family and friends who cannot attend in person can still watch.
Requiring proper academic dress for all degree-recipients underscores both individual achievement and connection to the institution’s scholarly community. By focusing on the right cap, gown and tassel set, Albion College ensures graduates leave the ceremony not only as alumni, but properly robed in formal academic attire that visually reinforces their educational milestone.
