College of Menominee Nation

The College of Menominee Nation (CMN) conducts its annual Commencement in a culturally rich and community-focused setting. For example, the 2025 ceremony was held at the Menominee Casino Resort Conference Center in the Five Clans Ballroom, starting at 10 AM. Graduates are asked to arrive early (by 8:30 AM) to lineup and take class photos before the formal procession.

However, CMN’s publicly available resources — including its student form library, registrar site, and academic catalog — provide very limited information about specific details of the academic regalia. There is no clearly documented policy on CMN’s website about the graduation gown color, exact tassel shade, honor cord, or stole colors. Searches through their catalog and rules failed to surface a regalia color‑chart or a formal “regalia policy” PDF.

Because CMN does not publish standardized regalia color codes, it appears that cap and gown sets may use generic academic regalia designs (e.g., black gowns, standard caps), or colors may be handled more flexibly, perhaps through external vendors or student‑organization channels. There is also no publicly available breakdown of cords or stoles by GPA or academic discipline on their site, which suggests that honor cords or stoles may be organized at the departmental or student‑group level, rather than set centrally by CMN.

On faculty regalia, CMN’s website likewise lacks explicit details on hood colors or gown styles for professors: their catalog does not include a pictorial or color‑coded guide for faculty academic dress.

In summary, while CMN’s commencement ceremony is clearly structured and community‑centered, its public documentation does not articulate a detailed academic regalia color scheme (graduation gown, tassels, cords, stoles). This implies a more flexible and perhaps decentralized approach to regalia, rather than a rigid, institution-wide color‑coded system.
