Brigham Young University Hawai'i

Brigham Young University–Hawaiʻi conducts formal commencement ceremonies each semester, marking the milestone of degree completion. According to the university’s catalog under “Graduation,” candidates must apply for graduation and then indicate whether they intend to march in the ceremony.

For academic regalia, the Office of the Registrar notes that students may order a cap and gown through the BYUH Store.

The official guidance from a historical commencement program states: “The tassel should be black or the color appropriate to the subject, with the exception of the doctor’s cap that may have a tassel of gold.”

From that we know: undergraduate candidates at BYU–Hawaiʻi typically wear a black mortarboard (graduation cap) and standard black gown shell (graduation gown) with a tassel in either black or a discipline-appropriate colour. For doctoral or advanced degrees the cap may bear a gold tassel. Honor cords and stoles represent special recognition though BYU–Hawaiʻi’s publicly posted material does not provide a full colour chart for honor cords, stoles or discipline-based sash colours. Faculty regalia follow standard doctoral academic dress conventions: the gown with velvet panels, hood lined in institutional colours and a cap with the proper tassel colour. In short: to meet BYU–Hawaiʻi commencement regalia standards you should order and wear the correct graduation gown, use the graduation cap (mortarboard or tam as applicable), affix the tassel (black or discipline-appropriate for bachelor/master; gold for doctoral), and include any approved honor cords or stoles. Wearing the correct academic regalia supports visual consistency in the ceremony, honours the tradition and ensures your milestone is presented with dignity.
