Brandeis University’s commencement program is a formal academic event where graduates and faculty wear full academic regalia including the graduation gown, graduation cap (mortarboard or tam), tassels, hoods and additional academic accessories. According to Brandeis’ commencement information page, the exercises take place annually at the Gosman Sports & Convocation Center and include separate undergraduate and graduate ceremonies.

Brandeis University For bachelor’s degree recipients, the university’s regalia vendor lists a black cap and gown with a blue and white tassel (reflecting school colors) and a hood appropriate to the degree.

For doctoral candidates, the official doctoral regalia is described as a royal blue gown with black velvet panels and white piping, paired with a black velvet tam and a gold metallic tassel.

While the institution provides general regalia instructions and vendor ordering pages, Brandeis does not widely publish a public colour-chart for every honour cord or stole by discipline or society. Honour cords and stoles are allowed as part of the academic dress, but individual colour details typically depend on the honour society or departmental tradition and require verification with the university bookstore or vendor. Faculty regalia adheres to doctoral academic dress conventions: velvet-paneled gowns, hoods bearing Brandeis colours (royal blue and white chevron), and gold-metal tassels for doctoral caps. In summary, to meet Brandeis’ commencement standards you must order and wear the correct graduation gown (degree-level style and colour shell where applicable), the graduation cap with appropriate tassel colour (blue & white for bachelor, gold for doctoral), a hood if required, and any honour cords or stoles as applicable. Wearing the correct academic regalia ensures visual consistency, respects ceremony tradition and enhances photographic quality of the milestone event.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Brandeis University, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
