Boston Baptist College

At Boston University’s annual commencement ceremony, bachelor’s and master’s candidates wear the university’s distinctive red gown with a black mortarboard cap and a tassel, while doctoral candidates wear the more elaborate velvet-trimmed gown with a black velvet tam and gold tassel. The bachelor’s gown is untrimmed with open sleeves; the master’s gown has the long, curved sleeves; and the doctoral regalia features black velvet facing and three velvet sleeve bars.

The hood lining for BU is scarlet with a white chevron—representing the institution’s official colors—and the velvet edging on the hood corresponds to the graduate’s specific discipline (e.g., white for humanities, orange for engineering, yellow for sciences, purple for law, green for medicine).

Honor cords and stoles are permitted at commencement. For example, graduates who participate in the Class Gift campaign may receive a red and white cord to wear over their academic regalia, symbolizing philanthropic contribution.

Ordering deadlines are important: bachelor’s and master’s candidates must order their cap and gown sets (including gown, cap and tassel) well ahead of commencement weekend; the doctoral rental sets must be returned by specified deadlines to avoid replacement charges.

In summary: the academic regalia at BU includes the graduation gown in scarlet, black cap (mortarboard for B/M, velvet tam for doctoral), tassels (usually black for B/M and gold for doctorate), and a hood for graduate degrees with scarlet + white chevron lining and discipline-colour velvet. Optional honor cords and stoles can be worn according to university guidelines. This ensures graduation cap, gown and tassels sets, faculty regalia and academic regalia all reflect BU’s traditions and identity.
