Belhaven University’s commencement ceremonies mark the culmination of students’ academic achievement, featuring multiple ceremonies each year for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral candidates. According to the university’s Registrar page, graduates must order their academic regalia in advance and participate in procession at the Center for the Arts on the Jackson, Mississippi campus.

The regalia comprises a standard graduation gown, graduation cap (typically mortarboard for undergraduates), a tassel and, where applicable, a hood or stole.

Belhaven’s institutional colours are green and gold, reflecting its identity.

However, the publicly available information does not specify a full chart of tassel colours or stoles by bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral levels. The standard practice for many U.S. institutions — and presumably applicable at Belhaven — is a black graduation gown worn by bachelor’s and master’s candidates, paired with a black mortarboard cap. Tassels are often black or in the school colour; doctoral gowns may include velvet facings and the tassel may be gold metallic. Honor cords typically represent academic distinction or membership in honor societies; the 2007-08 catalog strongly notes that students are not permitted to wear unapproved regalia items without clearance.

For master’s and doctoral candidates, the academic regalia often includes a hood lined with the institution’s colours and edged in velvet of the discipline’s designated colour (e.g., light blue for Education, golden yellow for Science). While Belhaven’s vendor partner site shows custom regalia for EdD and DBA programmes (indicating institutional support for degrees at that level) there remains no public list of accessory colours by field.

For marketplace listing purposes, product descriptions should emphasise: a high-quality graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel set (standard or optional gold/discipline colour), optional honor cords and stoles (customisable, confirm with Belhaven University bookstore), and upgrade paths for faculty or doctoral regalia. Use keywords such as “graduation gown”, “graduation gown colour”, “graduation cap”, “academic regalia package”, “cap and gown tassel sets”, “honor cord”, “stoles colour”, and “faculty regalia” to boost discoverability in Google organic search and on marketplace platforms.
