Central Virginia Community College (CVCC) holds its annual commencement ceremony in May, with the 2025 ceremony scheduled for May 15 at 7 PM at the Liberty University Vines Center. Graduates must apply for graduation through their myCVCC account, and the college confirms that regalia is required to participate in the ceremony.

According to CVCC’s graduation information, students must wear full academic regalia, which includes a cap, gown, tassel, and a CVCC-specific stole. Regalia is sold through the CVCC Bookstore, and there is a Cap, Gown, Tassel, Stole package priced at US$ 75, while a version with Early College honor cords costs US$ 90.85. During check‑in at commencement, CVCC gives eligible honor graduates a gold tassel (students with a GPA of 3.2 or above, per CVCC’s honors classification).

CVCC recognizes honor distinctions on transcripts and diplomas according to GPA: Cum Laude (3.20–3.49), Magna Cum Laude (3.50–3.79), Summa Cum Laude (3.80–4.00). For academic societies, Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) members are permitted to wear the PTK stole in place of the standard CVCC stole — and may also use a PTK honor cord.

In terms of faculty regalia, faculty participating in the commencement also wear caps and gowns, though CVCC’s publicly available graduation materials do not provide a full color‑coded chart for faculty hood colors or discipline-based stoles. CVCC’s student handbook does not detail discipline-specific velvet or hood colors either.

In short, CVCC’s commencement ceremony relies on traditional academic regalia: blue regalia is not mentioned, but the college requires a cap, gown, gold honor tassel (for honors), and a CVCC-specific stole. The school permits honor-society stoles (e.g., PTK), and maintains a well-structured ceremony with a dedicated grad fair, bookstore regalia sales, and a formal staging and diploma distribution.
