At Borough of Manhattan Community College, the commencement ceremony is a major academic milestone where graduates must attend in full academic dress including a graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard) and tassel. According to the official 2025 Commencement page, all participants must march in cap and gown and pick up their gown during scheduled distribution dates.

The institution emphasises that cap and gown are required; enthusiastic announcements remind students “Cap. Gown. Legacy.” for the event.

BMCC’s brand and colour guidelines list the official college colours as Blue (Pantone 293, hex #0058A4) and Orange (Pantone 021, hex #FF6600).

While the graduation gown colour itself is distributed by the college with no cost to graduates at cap & gown week, publicly accessible documentation does not provide a detailed breakdown of tassel colours, honor cords or stoles by degree level or discipline.

Honor cords or stoles are mentioned in broader commencement guides (e.g., student groups wearing special sashes), but colour-codes aren’t listed in the publicly available material. Because many buyers and graduates search using phrases like “graduation gown”, “graduation gown colour”, “graduation cap”, “academic regalia”, “cap and gown tassel set”, and “faculty regalia”, it’s important to include those keywords when creating regalia-set listings for BMCC. Faculty regalia is touched upon (faculty and staff registration for the ceremony indicates faculty wear caps and gowns) but specific faculty hood colours or gown features for BMCC are not publicly detailed.

In summary: BMCC's commencement tradition requires graduates to wear their graduation gown and cap with tassel, while honour cords and stoles are available but colour specifics must be confirmed; the institution’s official colours are blue and orange, and vendors preparing regalia sets should reference those and include the key search terms above.
