Canada College

At Cañada College, the annual commencement ceremony is held on campus (for instance, the 58th Annual Commencement is scheduled for May 23, 2026). Their commencement program for 2024 details a robust tradition of academic regalia that reflects long-standing scholastic heritage.

Undergraduate (Associate, Bachelor) and Master’s graduates at Cañada wear black gowns with pointed sleeves and open yokes, with no decorative trim. Doctoral gowns, by contrast, feature bell-shaped sleeves and velvet trimming, emphasizing their advanced level. Graduates who earn bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees also wear academic hoods: these hoods display Cañada’s institutional colors inside, and their velvet edging (binding) is discipline-specific, aligned with the graduate’s major. Associate-degree recipients do not wear hoods.

As for honor cords, stoles, or tassels, Cañada College’s publicly available commencement materials (including the 2024 booklet) do not specify distinct color-codes for Latin honors, student-organization cords, or stoles. The college’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) notes that graduates can purchase their cap, gown, and tassel at the campus Bookstore (~US$ 60) and that sashes (stoles) for academic honors are available for rent or purchase via the Bookstore. Some honor society (e.g., Phi Theta Kappa) regalia are not sold by the Bookstore and must be ordered directly from the society.

Faculty and staff participating in the ceremony wear traditional academic regalia, including robes, hoods, and caps. According to the program, faculty hoods follow standard academic dress codes, using velvet edging that reflects the faculty member’s academic discipline.

In summary, Cañada College’s cap, gown and tassels sets reflect a classic academic regalia tradition: black gowns, discipline-specific hoods, and tassels. While detailed color-coding for honor cords or stoles is not publicly provided, students rely on the Bookstore and honor society guidance to match regalia for their achievements.
