At Cameron University, the annual commencement ceremony is a formal academic event, typically held in Cameron Stadium in early May. Students who have completed graduation requirements in December, May, July, or December of a given year are eligible to participate.

Regalia policy at Cameron is strictly regulated: only Regent-approved academic dress is allowed for participation, including approved stoles, cords, and medallions that reflect the student’s collegiate experience. The undergraduate degree candidates wear untrimmed black gowns, paired with a black mortarboard graduation cap. The tassel starts on the right and, after the degree is officially conferred, is moved to the left.

Master’s candidates also wear the same black gown as undergraduates, but during the hooding ceremony, they carry and then receive a graduate hood that signifies their advanced degree. The cap is black, and its tassel is worn on the left side to mark a prior degree.

For honors recognition, Cameron University awards honor cords and stoles: students graduating cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude are recognized; in particular, members of Phi Kappa Phi wear blue-and-gold honor cords or stoles or medallions. Ornamentation rules state only “university-approved” cords, stoles, and medallions may be worn, and the Office of Academic Affairs maintains the official list.

Faculty and doctoral-level regalia at Cameron reflect traditional academic dress: doctor’s gowns have velvet facing and bell sleeves, with the velvet and hood trim color aligned with the academic field.

In sum, Cameron University’s cap, gown and tassels sets uphold a traditional academic style: black gowns for all degree levels, disciplined hooding for masters, regulated tassel placement, and approved ornamentation for honor cords and stoles — all following Regent-approved academic regalia guidelines.
