Bronx Community College

At Bronx Community College, the annual commencement ceremony is a cornerstone event where graduates don the full academic attire—standard graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel and approved accessories. According to BCC’s Commencement webpage, the Class of 2025 ceremony was held outdoors on Ohio Field on Friday, May 30, with graduates asked to arrive by 8:30 a.m. for lineup; the ceremony began at 9:30 a.m.

Graduates purchase their full academic regalia set (cap, gown, tassel & hood) through the designated vendor; the cost is listed as $40 for the bundle.

The gown shell follows the standard black academic-gown model common in higher education, although BCC does not publish a unique gown-colour palette tied to degree level or discipline. Honor cords are specified in several instances: members of the Honors Scholars program receive a gold cord and medallion at graduation.

Despite this, BCC’s publicly available materials do not list a comprehensive colour chart for tassels, stoles or cords by discipline or degree level (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral). Faculty regalia are referenced in the pricing for “Master Units” ($47) and “Doctor Units” ($49) rental pieces, which suggests the use of advanced academic-dress conventions for faculty (velvet panels, hoods) though BCC does not post detailed regalia-colour guidelines.

In summary: To participate in the BCC commencement you must secure and wear the correct graduation gown (black shell), the graduation cap (mortarboard), purchase the tassel and hood as required, wear any approved honor cords (e.g., gold for Honors Scholars) and stoles if applicable. Because specific accessory colours by discipline are not fully listed, graduates are advised to confirm tassel, honor cord and stole colours with the College Bookstore or Registrar to ensure alignment with institutional expectations. Wearing correct academic regalia ensures a unified ceremony visual, honors BCC tradition, and presents your milestone achievement with dignity.
