CCC&TI’s commencement ceremony is held annually in May, and participating graduates must apply for graduation, pay fees, and order their academic regalia in time to walk. The academic regalia set includes the standard graduation gown (which is almost always black for associate-level degrees) and a graduation cap (mortarboard style). The website outlines that students must “order cap, gown and tassel” and that only official stoles and cords issued by CCC&TI clubs or through the Bookstore are permitted.

Honor distinctions use specific accessory colours: for example, graduates qualifying for academic honours receive a gold “Honors” tassel at check-in. Other recognized cords and stoles include: • gold stoles for members of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa, • blue & white cords for members of the Ambassadors service organization, • white cords for participants in TRIO, • silver cords for Student Government Association members, • red & white cords for SkillsUSA participants, • burgundy cords for the RIBN nursing partnership, and • peach cords for the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing. The college’s commencement PDF also notes that the velvet edging on hoods indicates discipline—for example agriculture = maize, arts = white, business = olive brown, education = light blue, engineering = orange, fine arts = brown, science = golden yellow. Faculty regalia at CCC&TI follow the standard academic dress code: gowns corresponding to highest earned degrees, hoods and caps reflecting discipline and institution, with the velvet edging colour representing the discipline. In sum, CCC&TI’s commencement attire provides a cohesive academic regalia set—foundation of black graduation gown and graduation cap, paired with tassels, honor cords, stoles and discipline‐specific velvet colours—to unite the graduating class while recognizing individual achievements and program identities.
