At Cal Maritime, the commencement ceremony embeds rich tradition with defined academic regalia standards. For the general “Traditional Students and Graduate Students” it states: “The attire is the Cal Maritime cap and gown for students who are not members of the Corps of Cadets and all graduate students.” Though specific handbook language about tassel, honor cord and stole colours is not widely published, vendor and regalia retailer listings provide a clear guideline: the university colours are navy and gold, and the regalia collections for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral packages emphasize those colours. Graduation Cap and Gown For bachelor’s degree candidates, the cap and gown set is offered in a standard black gown package with customization options for tassels and accessories, including sashes/stoles representing the school’s navy and gold scheme. Academic Hoods For master’s degree recipients, the regalia set includes cap, gown and an academic hood “color‑coded, with a lining of navy and gold to represent the university, and trimmed with velvet that signifies your field of study.” Graduation Cap and Gown For doctoral candidates and faculty, the remanufactured packages highlight the same university colours (navy & gold) and allow customization of velvet trim and tassel colours appropriate to field and rank. Graduation Cap and Gown Though Cal Maritime’s official commencement site page does not publish a full public chart of honor‑cord colours or stole colour‑by‑discipline, the consistent use of navy & gold as the base university palette and the reliance on vendor specifications provide a working framework:
Graduation gown colour: Black (standard cap & gown set)
University accent colours: Navy & Gold (used in hood lining, tassels, stoles)
Bachelor’s: cap & gown set with choice of tassel colour (matching navy & gold or discipline‑specific)
Master’s: gown, cap, tassel plus academic hood with navy/gold lining and velvet field colour
Doctoral/faculty: specialized gown/tam, tassel, hood reflecting navy & gold plus discipline velvet trim Graduates ordering their regalia set should verify deadlines on the commencement website, confirm personal discipline‑based accessory colours (stoles, cords, tassels) with the bookstore or vendor, and ensure that their cap & gown set aligns with Cal Maritime’s commencement regalia guidelines.
This set includes the graduation gown and cap, plus the coordinating tassel aligned with Cal Maritime commencement guidelines. A complete academic regalia set to mark your achievement.
