Century College (Minnesota) holds an annual commencement ceremony, generally in May, where graduates must arrive in full academic regalia (cap and gown) for the formal processional. Caps, gowns, and tassels are available for purchase at the college’s “Grad Expo” event, typically held on West Campus, where honor cords and veteran cords are also distributed.

Century College recognizes academic honors based on cumulative GPA (for college-level courses): students with a 3.50–3.74 GPA earn honors cords, while those with 3.75–4.00 GPA are awarded a high distinction medal, rather than a cord. According to the Graduation FAQ, veterans receive red, white, and blue cords to honor their service.

In terms of color and academic regalia design, Century College requires that any existing gown worn by the student must be black, according to their FAQs. The ceremony instructions specify that graduates should wear their tassel on the right side of the cap before the degree is conferred. Beyond honor cords and veteran cords, Century College’s publicly available regalia guidance does not mention stoles or color‑coded tassels for different academic disciplines. This suggests that the institution does not enforce a broad, discipline-based regalia color scheme for stoles or hoods.

Faculty who participate in commencement also wear traditional academic regalia, though Century College’s public materials (such as its graduation instructions and FAQs) do not provide a detailed public chart for faculty gown colors, hoods, or velvet trim. In effect, Century College’s commencement dress code emphasizes classic cap‑and‑gown regalia, black gowns, honor cords for certain GPA levels, and veteran cords, but does not appear to use a wide palette of color-coded stoles or discipline‑specific tassel colors.
