At Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, West Virginia, commencement is a formal recognition of academic achievement and spiritual preparation. According to the student‐handbook (“The Servant’s Staff”), participation in graduation requires more than completion of academic requirements: graduates are expected to uphold the character standards of the college.
While the handbook outlines the date for “Commencement – Sunday Dress” for the ceremony, it does not present a detailed public colour chart for tassels, honor cords or stoles. Nonetheless, the college’s policies emphasise that all graduates must wear the institution-designated graduation gown with the appropriate graduation cap (mortarboard or equivalent) and must be properly attired in full academic regalia to participate fully. Faculty and academic officials likewise wear formal academic dress—gown, hood where appropriate, cap and tassel—to maintain the ceremonial and scholarly tradition. Because specific discipline colours for tassels, stoles or honor cords are not publicly listed, the default expectation is uniform attire in the chosen graduation gown colour (typically black) paired with the standard cap and tassel set. By featuring keywords such as “graduation gown,” “graduation gown color,” “graduation cap,” and “academic regalia,” the college’s communication internally and externally clearly conveys attire obligations for graduates, families and vendors—even though detailed colour assignments for honours cords or stoles may require direct departmental inquiry.
