The College of the Siskiyous (COS) commencement ceremony is a key academic milestone that celebrates students completing their degrees. According to the Admissions & Records page, the graduation event is held annually on the Weed Campus. Students who intend to walk in the ceremony must file a “Petition to Graduate” by the mid-April deadline. The college then publishes a printed program and communicates details to candidates via their student email. After successful completion of all program requirements, diplomas are mailed out by late July, contingent on students clearing any outstanding financial dues.

Regarding academic regalia — such as graduation gown, cap, tassels, honor cords, and stoles — there is unfortunately little public detailed information on the COS website or in handbooks. The college bookstore does list “graduation regalia” among its inventory, but no official PDF or guideline sheet is found that specifies the graduation gown color, tassel colors, or faculty hood / stole color codes. The Administrative Procedure document for regalia (AP 5150) discusses funding via EOPS for a “required commencement regalia” package, but does not define color standards or discipline-specific regalia.

Because COS is a two-year community college (offering associate degrees), it likely does not have the full multi-level (bachelor/master) academic hooding system common at four-year universities — and indeed no master’s or doctoral regalia policies are detailed. The Phi Theta Kappa honor society is mentioned, and their students “wear PTK Commencement Regalia” for graduation. The COS Foundation’s handbook notes that students completing the “Siskiyou Scholars” program will wear “insignia … with their graduation gown” but does not elaborate on color.

In short: while College of the Siskiyous runs a formal commencement event, publicly available documentation does not clearly define the colors of academic regalia (gown, tassel, stoles, or hoods). Persons seeking to order regalia — perhaps via Amazon or a bookstore — should confirm with COS’s bookstore or commencement office about the correct graduation cap and gown color, tassel colors, and any honor or departmental stoles.
