American River College holds its annual commencement ceremony in May at the end of the spring semester.

Graduates who completed requirements in the prior summer, fall or spring terms may participate. The college clearly states that participants must wear the designated graduation gown, a matching graduation cap (mortarboard), and the required cap & gown tassel set, all available for purchase through the campus bookstore.

Although the publicly-available materials do not publish a full breakdown of honor cord, stole or discipline-specific gown colours, the institution’s regalia policy indicates that standard attire is required and that additional items (such as honor cords or stoles) may be worn in accordance with program- or honours-specific eligibility. The correct graduation gown colour, matched cap and tassel set help ensure a unified and dignified visual presentation of graduates and faculty. Faculty and academic officials appear in full academic regalia, including gowns, hoods where appropriate, caps and tassels, upholding the scholarly tradition of commencement. A separate initiative by the college’s foundation, “Gowns for Grads”, highlights the importance of proper regalia by providing caps and gowns to students who might otherwise be unable to afford them.

The commencement event includes a processional of graduates and faculty in full regalia, the conferral of degrees, recognition of honours and a recessional—while participants are properly robed in gown, cap and tassel set. By using key phrases like “graduation gown”, “graduation gown colour”, “graduation cap”, “academic regalia” and “cap & gown tassels”, American River College communicates its attire expectations clearly to students, families and regalia vendors—while enhancing its search-friendly visibility for graduation-regalia related content.
