College of Coastal Georgia

The College of Coastal Georgia (CCGA) holds its commencement ceremonies twice yearly, including a notable spring event at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. In the Fall 2025 ceremony, CCGA scheduled three separate ceremonies on December 12 at the Southeast Georgia Conference Center. According to the registrar’s site, graduates must order their cap and gown from Herff Jones by the announced deadline to ensure their regalia arrives in time for the ceremony.

In CCGA’s Spring 2025 Commencement Program, academic regalia is described in traditional terms. The standard graduation gown is black; the catalog clarifies that bachelor’s gowns have pointed sleeves, master’s gowns have longer oblong sleeves, and doctoral gowns feature the classic bell-shaped sleeves with velvet bars. The mortarboard cap is standard for undergraduates and masters, and CCGA’s policy allows black or gown-color tassels for those degrees; for doctoral graduates, gold tassels are used.

CCGA also defines hood velvet colors by academic discipline in its commencement program. For example: dark blue for Philosophy (Ph.D.), light blue for Education, apricot for Nursing, brown for Fine Arts, crimson for Communications, drab for Business, gold for Science, sage for Health, and white for Arts. The satin lining of the hood reflects CCGA’s institutional colors, as described in the same program.

Regarding honor cords and stoles, CCGA indicates Latin honors: Summa Cum Laude (GPA 3.90–4.00), Magna Cum Laude (3.70–3.89), and Cum Laude (3.50–3.69). However, their public materials (including handbooks and catalog) do not clearly define specific cord or stole colors tied to those honors. The 2024–2025 Student Handbook likewise lacks a detailed honor‑cord color policy.

As for faculty regalia, CCGA’s published commencement program and catalog do not provide a discipline-based color‑chart for hoods, velvet trim, or gown variations. This suggests that faculty may wear standard black gowns with hoods that follow the velvet‑color system outlined for degrees, but without additional publicly documented regalia ornamentation.
