Colorado State University (CSU) runs large, well-organized commencement events each term with college-level recognition ceremonies and a university-wide convocation. Graduates are required to wear standard academic regalia: a mortarboard graduation cap, a gown, and an appropriate tassel — items students order or rent in advance through the CSU Commencement portal or CSU Bookstore Grad Packs.

The typical graduation gown color for bachelor’s and master’s students at CSU is classic black, while doctoral gowns may feature velvet facings and sleeve bars. Academic hoods and tassel colors vary by degree and discipline; the Graduate School notes that hood colors follow the degree field and the regalia vendor provides the correct hood and trim.

CSU’s University Honors Program uses distinctive regalia to mark scholars: Honors candidates may wear a green honors robe and a black honors stole, and some college materials reference souvenir tassels and gold honor cords for award recognition — demonstrating that honor cords and stoles color can be program-specific rather than uniformly codified across campus.

Faculty regalia at CSU follows Intercollegiate Academic Costume Code practice: faculty wear gowns and hoods that reflect their highest degree, with hood lining and velvet trim indicating institutional colors and fields of study. Stoles and cords are defined in the Commencement glossary as visual markers for organizations, honors, and cultural recognition and are commonly added to the mortarboard and gown for ceremony.

In practice, CSU emphasizes a mix of traditional, formal academic regalia (black gowns and mortarboards) with customizable elements — degree-specific hoods and tassel colors plus program or honors stoles and cords — ordered via the official commencement site or campus vendors to ensure correct cap, gown and tassel sets for graduation day.
