CUNY SPS holds its annual commencement in late May. For instance, the Class of 2025 graduation was on May 30 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Graduates who register by mid‑April receive guest tickets and digital livestream access.

Regarding academic regalia, CUNY SPS’s public commencement and graduation‑application pages reference ordering regalia, but do not provide detailed published color‑schemes for caps, gowns, tassels, cords, or stoles. There is no mention in publicly available SPS handbooks or New York documentation of a fixed tassel color, nor of standard honor cords or stoles in SPS’s online materials.

SPS offers a “Black Graduation Ceremony” via its Black Student Union, a pre-commencement celebration to honor Black graduates, but this event “does not include a conferring of degrees” and does not detail academic‑regalia colors for that event. The faculty handbook also does not outline a disciplined color-code for velvet trim or hoods in regalia.

Given the limited public documentation on tassel, honor cord, or stole coloration, it appears that CUNY SPS either does not centrally standardize those accessory colors, or they are left flexible for departments or student organizations. The focus for SPS commencement centers more on the ceremony logistics (venue, registration, streaming) rather than a tightly defined academic-dress color system.
