Bard College at Simon’s Rock’s commencement ceremony is a formal academic event where graduates don full academic regalia — a graduation gown, a graduation cap (typically a mortarboard for undergraduates), a tassel, and optionally a stole or honor cord. According to the institution’s commencement page, the ceremony is held under a tent on Blodgett Lawn and is streamed online.
While the site describes the event itinerary, it does not publish a detailed breakdown of accessory colours (tassels, honor cords, stoles) by degree level (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral) or discipline. By standard academic dress conventions, the graduation gown colour is assumed to be the classic black academic robe, paired with a black mortarboard graduation cap for most degree levels. Because Simon’s Rock is an affiliated early-college institution of Bard College, accessory colour detail may mirror Bard’s traditions—but no specific chart is publicly available for Simon’s Rock graduates. Honor cords or stoles likewise are not detailed by colour on the website, though an Instagram caption mentions “new stoles … each color is symbolic of the division that the student belongs to: Emerald for the Science, Mathematics and Computing division; Pure White for …”
This suggests some colour coding of stoles (e.g., emerald, white) by division, but not a full official scheme with tassels/honor cords. Faculty regalia would follow traditional academic-regalia conventions: doctoral gowns with velvet facings, discipline-specific hoods, and gold tassels for doctoral holders (as is common). For product-listing purposes aimed at Simon’s Rock style regalia, highlight: black graduation gown, black mortarboard cap, optional tassels/honor cords/stoles (customizable or using emerald/white where noted), and upgrade options for full academic regalia (faculty/doctoral) with velvet trim or discipline hoods. Use keywords such as “graduation gown”, “graduation gown colour black”, “graduation cap”, “academic regalia package”, “cap and gown tassels sets”, “honor cord”, “stoles colour”, and “faculty regalia” to boost visibility in Google organic search and marketplace listings.
