Clackamas Community College (CCC) holds its annual commencement ceremony each spring, celebrating students who have completed certificates, degrees, GEDs, or adult high school credentials. The 2026 ceremony, for example, is scheduled for June 12 at the Oregon City campus. According to the 2019 graduation instructions, caps and gowns are provided free of charge through the CCC Bookstore (paid via student fees), and graduates are required to pick them up ahead of the ceremony.

In CCC’s publicly available graduation documentation, there is no specific published standard for tassel color, honor cords, or stoles. A detailed 2019 commencement instruction sheet does not mention tassel color variation or any cord/stole distribution system. Likewise, the student handbook and other student‑policies documents do not elaborate on academic regalia beyond basic participation rules. Because of this, it appears that CCC may rely on generic or traditional black gowns and caps without institution-wide, color-coded regalia accessories tied to honor distinctions or academic discipline.

Faculty regalia are not strongly detailed in CCC’s public ceremony resources either. While the College Council agenda shows that gown rentals (for faculty) are available via Jostens, and CCC has a limited in-house supply of gowns/hoods for faculty with academic credentials. There is no readily available, publicly posted color-chart for faculty hoods (velvet trim by discipline) in CCC’s current publicly accessible documents.

In summary, Clackamas Community College’s commencement emphasizes accessibility (free cap & gown via student fees), a traditional academic regalia look (black gown and mortarboard), and a lean public profile on tassel, cord, or stole color customization. Without official published color‑code for honor cords or stoles, graduates and faculty likely follow a more flexible, minimally ornamented regalia tradition.
