College of The Albemarle (COA), located in northeastern North Carolina, holds its annual commencement ceremonies to honor graduates earning diplomas, certificates, and associate degrees. In Spring 2025, COA held its graduation ceremonies on May 13 and May 14, celebrating 249 graduates across its campuses. Graduates must apply for graduation via MyService, following deadlines published by the Registrar.

Regarding academic regalia, COA’s 2025–2026 Academic Catalog mentions the requirement to apply for graduation, but the catalog does not provide a detailed color‑coding scheme for graduation gowns, tassels, hoods, honor cords, or stoles. The Student Handbook (available on COA’s website) likewise lacks any formal policy specifying tassel colors, honor stoles, or cord hues.

In the catalog, COA defines “Honor Seals” awarded at graduation based on cumulative GPA (summa, magna, cum laude), but these are citations on the diploma—not tied to specified regalia colors for cords or stoles. COA also recognizes students with Phi Theta Kappa membership, though the catalog does not associate a particular cord or stole color with PTK in its published regalia policy.

On faculty regalia, COA does not publicly document a standardized system for academic robes, hood linings, or velvet trim by discipline in its catalog or student‑handbook resources. Based on available materials, COA appears to adopt a minimal, functional academic regalia tradition: likely black graduation gowns, neutral or standard tassels, and optional cords or sashes managed at the Bookstore or by students, rather than through an institutional color-encoded regalia policy.
