Bluffton University requires graduates to participate in its annual commencement ceremony in full academic regalia, including a graduation gown, a graduation cap (mortarboard) and a coordinating tassel. According to the University’s Graduation Information page, all graduates must attend commencement, check in at designated times, and wear approved academic dress.

The regalia are ordered via the campus Bookstore or approved vendor, with the Jostens cap & gowns catalog listed for Bluffton University.

While the University clearly mandates the graduation gown, graduation cap and tassel, the publicly accessible documentation does not provide detailed colour-codes for tassels, honor cords or stoles by degree level or discipline. The materials indicate honour cords based on Latin honours (for example cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude) but do not publicly list each specific cord colour.

Faculty regalia is addressed in event contexts (faculty “dress in academic regalia”) but specific hood or gown colours for faculty are not enumerated in public handbooks.

For accurate regalia-set listings, emphasize that the graduation gown, matching cap and tassel form the core academic dress, honour cords or stoles are optional accessories for academic distinction, and accessory colour verification is required via the Bookstore or Registrar. Use keywords such as “graduation gown”, “graduation gown colour”, “graduation cap”, “academic regalia”, “cap and gown tassel set”, “honour cord”, and “faculty regalia” for stronger search visibility. In summary: Bluffton University’s commencement tradition follows the classic academic dress model—graduates in their graduation gown and cap with tassel, optional honour cords or stoles, faculty in academic regalia—while accessory colour details (tassels, cords, stoles) should be confirmed with the University’s regalia provider.
