College of the Redwoods

The College of the Redwoods (CR) hosts its commencement ceremonies across its campuses, with its main Eureka ceremony held in the CR gymnasium, and additional ceremonies at its Klamath‑Trinity and Del Norte sites. Redwoods Community College District Cap and gown regalia (academic regalia) is officially offered by CR: a regalia package, priced at US$ 42 + tax, includes a black graduation gown, mortarboard cap, a CR-embroidered sash, a tassel, and a year charm.

Regarding honor cords, CR’s commencement FAQ notes that qualifying students across its service areas (Eureka, Klamath‑Trinity, Del Norte) will receive an invitation (by mail) in late April or early May to purchase an honors cord. These cords are sold through the CR bookstore or regional offices depending on campus: for Eureka graduates via the Eureka Campus Store, for Del Norte via the Del Norte front office, and for Klamath‑Trinity via their LRC bookstore.

However, CR does not publicly specify distinct color schemes for honor cords, stoles, or tassels in its online commencement materials. The regalia package includes a sash (not explicitly called a “stole”), but there is no mention of different color stoles or multiple cords for different honors categories, as might be seen at larger universities.

As for faculty regalia or discipline-based academic regalia (e.g., velvet hooding, discipline-specific colors), the publicly available College of the Redwoods commencement page and related documents do not provide detail. There is no publicly posted regalia guidelines or PDF that outlines a hood‑color chart, nor does their RFP for virtual bookstore services mention custom hoods by academic field.

In summary, College of the Redwoods’ commencement ceremony uses a standard black graduation gown and cap, includes a sash (with CR logo), a tassel, and a year charm in the basic regalia package. Honor cords are available for students on a designated honors list, but specific cord, stole or tassel colors by honor level or discipline are not clearly documented in their public commencement resources. Their academic regalia appears modest and straightforward, without a publicly elaborated system of color-coded stoles or hoods.
