At Cape Cod Community College (4Cs), the commencement ceremony is held annually, with the 2025 graduation scheduled for May 23 at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. According to the college’s Commencement FAQ, students pick up their cap and gown for free from the 4Cs Bookstore—no charge for academic regalia. Graduates are advised to arrive early (e.g., 3 PM) to line up before the procession begins.

Regarding honor cords and stoles, the publicly available Commencement page notes that honor cords, stoles, and other academic decorations may be distributed by honors societies, veterans’ groups, clubs, or academic departments. However, the college does not provide a publicly accessible, detailed color-coding guide for tassels, honor cords, or stoles in its online handbooks or commencement site. There is no PDF or policy clearly listing which colors correspond to which honors or organizations.

Because of this lack of a publicly defined regalia-color policy, students ordering their cap, gown and tassel set should coordinate directly with the 4Cs Registrar or their specific scholarship / honors / student-organization office to confirm which honor cords or stoles are approved and in what color.

Faculty participating in the commencement also dress in traditional academic regalia: gowns and caps, although the college does not publish a detailed discipline-based hood or velvet-trim color scheme in its publicly available graduation materials.

In short, Cape Cod Community College’s cap, gown and tassels sets reflect a formal, inclusive academic ceremony: free regalia for graduates, honor cords and stoles provided by campus organizations, and a classic approach rooted in academic tradition — but without full public disclosure of color-specific regalia rules.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Cape Cod Community College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
