Bellin College conducts formal commencement ceremonies twice annually — typically in May (Spring) and October (Fall) — celebrating the academic achievements of students who have completed degree requirements and filed an Intent to Graduate form in advance. Graduates gather at venues such as the Ashwaubenon Performing Arts Center to participate in processional and recessional events, hear speeches, and receive recognition for their degrees in a ceremony that usually lasts about an hour and a half.

To participate, students must wear full academic regalia, including the traditional graduation gown and graduation cap (mortarboard). Bellin College provides regalia appropriate to degree levels: Bachelor’s degree students receive a standard black gown, cap, and an apricot tassel, symbolizing Bellin’s academic tradition and unity among graduates. Graduates may decorate their caps tastefully within college guidelines, but the tassel color remains consistent.

At the Master’s level, students receive a gown with extended sleeves and a matching hood worn over the gown, reflecting advanced academic achievement. Doctoral candidates are provided a more elaborate gown and longer hood appropriate for doctoral academic regalia.

Academic honors are indicated with honor cords at Bellin College. Graduates who qualify with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher at the end of their final graded term are eligible to wear apricot honor cords with their academic regalia. In addition, members of honor societies like Kappa Pi or Lambda Nu receive cords from faculty contacts associated with those organizations.

While Bellin College’s publicly available materials do not publish an exhaustive color chart for all stoles and cords, the institution’s apricot‑toned tassels and honor cords represent student achievement and school identity. The college encourages graduates to ensure their regalia fits properly upon pick‑up during pre‑commencement events such as “Toast to the Graduates,” where regalia is distributed and graduates celebrate with peers and faculty.

Faculty participating in the commencement wear traditional academic regalia with faculty regalia hoods and colors reflecting their highest academic degrees and disciplines, enhancing the visual significance of the ceremony and reinforcing scholarly tradition.
