The College of Lake County (CLC) holds its commencement ceremony at the Grayslake Campus, typically in the Athletic Center (Building F), with live streaming available for guests. CLC Illinois Graduates pick up their cap and gown prior to the event — CLC provides a “cap and gown pick-up” process as part of its commencement logistics.
While CLC’s academic catalog and online resources outline course programs and policy, there is no publicly available, detailed policy in the catalog or handbook (per the 2025 catalog) about cap, gown, tassel, honor cord, or stole color. Their website does not list an academic dress code page, nor do they offer downloadable PDF handbooks or regalia‑color charts for tassels, cords, or stoles. A search of their site and catalog did not return any standard color‑coding for honor cords or stoles by discipline or GPA.
Given the absence of publicly documented regalia guidance, it appears that CLC may either use a very generic or rental‑style academic regalia set for graduation, without a college‑wide “honor cord” or “stole color” scheme enforced at the institutional level. There is no mention of faculty regalia color on the commencement page either, suggesting standard academic robes may be used but not specified in public documentation.
In summary, the College of Lake County organizes a formal graduation ceremony in its Grayslake Athletic Center, but does not publicly disclose standardized academic regalia colors (gown, tassels, honor cords, or stoles) in its catalog or online handbooks. This suggests a level of flexibility or external rental for regalia, rather than a strict color‑coded system defined by the college.
