At Cal State LA, graduates participating in the commencement ceremony are required to wear appropriate academic attire. According to a “Regalia (Cap and Gown)” reminder, bachelor’s degree candidates wear a black mortarboard cap, a black bachelor’s‑degree gown, and a black tassel—described as reflecting “the primary University color.” Master’s degree candidates likewise wear a black cap and gown, black tassel, and a hood whose lining features the university’s colours of black and golden‑rod yellow. Doctoral candidates wear a black tam with a gold tassel, a black doctoral robe with velvet chevrons, and a doctoral hood with black and gold lining. Thus the standard graduation gown color across levels is black for student participants, with accessory details (tassels or hoods) signifying advanced degrees. Honor cords and stoles are less explicitly defined in the publicly posted regalia guidance—for example the reminder lists only basic regalia items for each degree level and urges eligible students to wear “the appropriate academic attire.” Faculty regalia at Cal State LA adheres to conventional academic‑dress standards: faculty wear gowns, hoods and caps consistent with their highest earned degree and discipline, with velvet or colour accents indicating field of study (though detailed discipline colour charts are not publicly specified). In summary: Cal State LA’s academic regalia system for commencement centers on a mortarboard graduation cap, black graduation gown, and tassel—that are standard for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral candidates. The main differentiators are tassel colour (black for bachelor’s/master’s, gold for doctoral) and hood/robe details for advanced levels. Graduates should ensure they order their cap & gown set and any accessories (honor cords, stoles, hoods) according to university deadlines and verify any discipline‑ or honours‑based accessory colours.
