Alfred State College’s commencement ceremony is a formal and meaningful event that celebrates students’ academic achievement with full ceremonial dress. Graduates are required to wear the designated graduation gown, paired with the classic graduation cap (mortarboard or approved style) and the official cap and gown tassel marking their achievement. The institution makes clear that proper academic dress is a prerequisite for participating in the program.

Faculty and honored presenters also appear in full academic regalia—including gowns, hoods and caps—reflecting their rank, field and scholarly accomplishment. A key element of the visual tradition is the correct graduation gown color and coordinated cap-and-gown set, which reinforces the dignity and cohesion of the ceremony. Specifically, the college’s policy outlines that the graduation fee must be settled and regalia ordered in advance of the commencement event.

The ceremony typically features the processional in full regalia, the conferral of degrees, recognition of student achievement, and a formal recessional—all participants dressed in proper cap, gown, tassel (and hood or stole where required). By insisting on complete and coordinated academic attire, Alfred State College ensures that graduates, faculty and guests present a unified, scholarly appearance that honours both individual accomplishment and institutional tradition.
