Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri (CCIS.edu) holds commencement ceremonies for its associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree students at its main campus and also at regional/nationwide locations. The main‑campus ceremony usually takes place in the Southwell Gymnasium, and graduates are required to pre-register.

As part of its academic regalia tradition, all students participating in commencement must wear a graduation cap and gown, which they order through the Herff Jones online portal. The gown color is distinctive: Columbia College uses navy blue gowns, not the more common black, lending a strong school‑identity to the regalia. The tassel for undergraduate students is silver and features a custom signet, reinforcing the school’s branding.

For master’s-level graduates, Columbia College requires a hood, with colors depending on the academic discipline: for example, business hoods use drab (light brown), education uses light blue, and criminal justice uses gold. Regarding honor cords and stoles, the college’s policy only allows “honors cords and approved stoles” to be worn over the gown. The college recognizes Latin honors (e.g., via GPA), but it does not publicly provide a detailed color chart for these cords or stoles in its commencement information.

Faculty participating in the ceremony also wear academic regalia, consistent with traditional academic dress; however, Columbia College does not publish a custom “faculty-only” color scheme or exclusive regalia palette. According to their regalia policy, only recognized honor society adornments (cords or stoles) and approved stoles may be worn on stage, maintaining a clean and uniform academic look.

In summary, Columbia College’s commencement attire emphasizes a cohesive, branded academic regalia system: navy blue gowns, silver‑tasseled caps, discipline‑appropriate hoods for master’s graduates, and a regulated honor cord / stole policy for recognition — ordered pre-ceremony and worn in a structured but flexible way.
