Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan conducts its formal commencement ceremony each May for eligible graduates who have completed their degree requirements. According to the College’s official commencement site, students must order and wear the correct academic attire in order to participate.

The required academic dress includes the institution’s designated graduation gown, the coordinating graduation cap (mortarboard or tam as appropriate), the proper cap & gown tassel set, and for graduate-level candidates the appropriate hood.

Aquinas publishes a detailed “Hood Colors & Honor Cords” page listing degree‐major specific hood velvet colours (for example: Bachelor of Science All Majors – Gold; Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy – Dark Blue; Bachelor of Fine Arts – Brown) and specifies honor cord colours for academic honors (Cum Laude = silver cord; Magna Cum Laude = maroon cord; Summa Cum Laude = silver + maroon cord).

Students are instructed to wear cap, gown, hood and tassel at the ceremony; stoles and cords are also permitted where approved (e.g., honor cords or organizational recognition).

While the website does not list every discipline’s stole colour, the information provided allows graduates and vendors to align with the institution’s expectations. The consistent use of the correct graduation gown colour, combined with the matching cap and standard tassel set, ensures a uniform, dignified visual presentation of all participants. By emphasising keywords like “graduation gown,” “graduation gown color,” “graduation cap,” and “academic regalia,” Aquinas College clearly communicates its dress‐code expectations to students, families and regalia suppliers—supporting search-friendly discoverability of regalia-related information.
