College of Saint Mary

The College of Saint Mary (CSM) in Omaha, Nebraska, holds its undergraduate and graduate commencement ceremony in May (usually mid-May) at the Lied Fitness Center Fieldhouse. Students pick up their cap and gown two days before: CSM organizes a cap-and-gown pickup at the Lied Fitness Center Fieldhouse from noon to 6 p.m. During the ceremony, there is a formal academic procession, the national anthem, a commencement address, and diploma presentation.

Honor cords for eligible undergraduates (based on GPA) are distributed before the ceremony. After graduation, students are expected to return their regalia (robes) to a robing/roster area.

Despite detailed commencement logistics, CSM’s publicly available documents (including their academic catalog and commencement web pages) do not provide specific color-coding for tassels, honor cords, or stoles tied to academic major, honors, or disciplines. The academic catalog is silent on specific graduation gown color variants or hood colors tied to discipline or degree.

Given this, CSM’s academic regalia seems to rely on a standard black gown and mortarboard cap, but without publicly documented standardized color schemes for tassels, stoles, or honor cords. There is no visible official chart or guide for discipline-based regalia colors available in their catalog or commencement FAQs.

In summary, CSM’s commencement emphasizes tradition and formality — graduates wear the classic black graduation gown and cap, receive honor cords (for qualifying students), but the publicly documented resources do not explicitly define tassel, stole, or honor cord colors by degree, honors level, or discipline. For precise color-coding, students or faculty should consult the Registrar or Commencement office directly.
