Brightpoint Community College hosts its annual commencement ceremony each May, which includes graduates from the previous summer, fall and spring semesters participating in a formal academic process.

Graduates must apply for graduation and complete the RSVP process to participate.

The college’s website directs students to purchase or rent caps, gowns and announcements in advance, with information mailed in the spring semester.

For the ceremony, students are instructed to wear the graduation gown over dark or black clothing and comfortable shoes.

While Brightpoint’s publicly available materials mention the purchase of caps and gowns, they do not provide a detailed breakdown of tassel, honor cord or stole colours by degree level (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral) or discipline. There is no publicly listed discipline-specific colour chart for stoles or cords. The graduation cap is the traditional mortarboard and the graduation gown appears to follow the standard black shell commonly used in U.S. academic dress, although the college does not explicitly state a unique gown colour in the public handbook. Honor cords and stoles are permitted for academic honours or recognitions, but the handbook does not list specific colours associated. Faculty regalia are not detailed in the publicly available citations, but it is reasonable to assume that faculty use doctoral style gowns including hoods and velvet panels as customary in higher education. In short: to prepare for Brightpoint Community College commencement, students should obtain the correct graduation gown (a dark/black shell), graduation cap, ensure the cap is fitted and the gown is worn properly, and obtain any honor cords or stoles if eligible. Because the college does not list specific tassel, cord or stole colours by discipline or degree level, students are advised to verify any colour requirements with the college bookstore or commencement office. Adhering to correct academic regalia ensures ceremony uniformity, respects institutional tradition and supports a polished appearance on graduation day.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Brightpoint Community College, 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.
