Cumberland University

Cumberland University (Lebanon, Tennessee) holds its commencement ceremonies for undergraduate and graduate students, with the date for Spring 2025 clearly listed in the university register. The publicly available graduation schedule confirms the university’s formal degree-conferral process, but detailed regalia color guidelines are not part of their widespread student-facing resources.

In their academic catalogs and student success guides, Cumberland University mentions a graduation fee for both undergraduate ($200) and graduate ($225) students, which likely covers diploma, regalia, or associated costs during ceremony preparation. However, I found no official color-chart in the published catalog or student handbook that defines the graduation gown color, tassel color, honor cord colors, or stole colors. The university’s “Guide to Student Success” and the online master’s program handbook note that commencement information “will be communicated through CU email and the CU website,” but they do not specify regalia color codes.

For academic dress, we can reasonably infer standard cap-and-gown traditions: students wear a mortarboard-style graduation cap and a formal academic gown. Because there’s no publicly documented variation by degree level, it is likely that a uniform gown color (commonly black) is used, though this is not confirmed in any publicly released policy.

Regarding honor cords and stoles, the absence of documented color guidance suggests that any such items are either not strictly regulated by color or are handled on a case-by-case basis (e.g., by honor society or department). Similarly, faculty regalia is not color-specified in the public catalog; professors presumably wear full academic robes and hoods appropriate to their highest degree, following standard academic regalia traditions.

Given the lack of public clarity, any regalia vendor or online store describing cap, gown and tassels sets for Cumberland University should emphasize the core regalia pieces — graduation gown, graduation cap, academic regalia — and strongly advise buyers to confirm tassel, honor cord, and stole colors with Cumberland University’s Registrar or Bookstore before placing a custom order.
