Covenant College

Covenant College conducts its commencement ceremony annually at the Chattanooga Convention Center, bringing together graduates, family, and faculty to celebrate academic achievements and spiritual growth. During the ceremony, students wear formal academic regalia, including a mortarboard graduation cap and traditional gown, reflecting Covenant’s respect for the academic tradition.

In publicly available university‑catalog and records resources (such as their academic catalog), there is no detailed, published color‑coding scheme for the graduation gown, tassel, honor cords, or stoles tied to specific degree levels, disciplines, or honors. Covenant’s catalog lists program and departmental information but omits a regalia color chart.

Research into Covenant’s commencement guidelines and student handbooks reveals no formal policy on honor cords or stoles for Latin honors (cum laude, magna, summa) or discipline‑specific regalia. Despite Covenant’s robust recognition of academic achievement, their public materials do not define a universal palette of cord or stole colors, which suggests that regalia aesthetics are handled flexibly—either via the vendor or student choice.

As for faculty regalia, while Covenant faculty do participate in commencement dressed in academic robes, the college does not make a standard faculty‑hood color chart publicly available via its catalog or records office. covenant.edu +1 This means velvet trim, hood lining, or stole colors are likely determined by their degree-granting institutions or by traditional academic dress codes, not a unique Covenant‑specific system. In short, Covenant College’s commencement is a meaningful, Christ-centered ceremony with the expectation of cap, gown, and tassel for graduates, but the institution does not enforce a strict, publicly documented color scheme for tassels, honor cords, or stoles. Regalia personalization appears to rely on individual or vendor‑driven choices, rather than Covenant-prescribed color standards.
