San Diego City College holds its annual commencement ceremony at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park. Students check in early for a formal procession and ceremony. According to their bookstore and commencement FAQ, the college sells a cap, black gown, and tassel set — the standard regalia package covers all three. Sashes or stoles are also available through the bookstore, and students may submit custom stole requests.
However, City College’s publicly available policies don’t clearly define a standardized color‑coding scheme for honor cords, tassels, or stoles tied to academic honors or disciplines. In their 2023 commencement guide, there’s mention of sashes/stoles for students, but no formal color chart for academic or honor distinctions.
As for faculty regalia, there’s limited public documentation on whether they use hoods, velvet trim, or discipline-based coloring. Their publicly posted graduation information primarily addresses student regalia.
Given the limited publicly documented regalia details, any Amazon or Google Store listing for “City College” cap, gown & tassel sets should include a clear disclaimer advising buyers to verify current regalia color policies with the college’s Registrar or Bookstore.
Note: City C.U. Shah Commerce College does not publicly disclose a detailed color scheme for graduation regalia (tassels, cords, stoles). Please confirm current regalia color policies with the college Registrar or academic office before placing an order.
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at City 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.
