College of Saint Rose

The College of Saint Rose, located in Albany, New York, historically held a traditional commencement ceremony each spring. However, the institution officially closed after its final commencement on May 11, 2024. During past ceremonies, graduates would wear the standard graduation gown and graduation cap to symbolize academic achievement.

According to the College of Saint Rose’s Student Handbook, the official college colors are gold and white, with black as a complementary color. These colors informally reflect school identity but there is no publicly available detailed regalia guide (such as a PDF or commencement manual) on the Saint Rose website that lists specific colors for tassels, honor cords, or stoles based on academic major, honors, or level of degree.

Publicly accessible resources, including the student handbook and archived web pages, do not mention a published stole-color chart or cord-color scheme for different disciplines. There is no documented academic regalia policy for faculty regalia color or velvet hood trim tied to specific fields. Further, the College does not appear to provide a discipline-based system of tassel colors in its official materials.

Given this limited public documentation, it's likely that Saint Rose graduates wore a traditional black academic gown and mortarboard, supplemented by any honor cords or stoles given by student organizations or honors societies, rather than a centrally managed color-coded system. Without a formal publicly disclosed regalia color code, it's not possible to definitively list tassel colors, honor cord colors, or stole hues for bachelor’s, master’s, faculty, or discipline-specific regalia. Those interested in precise color-coding (for example, for souvenir regalia or memorabilia) would need to consult archived College of Saint Rose commencement guides or reach out to alumni offices for details.
