Dean College

Dean College, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, hosts its annual commencement ceremony along Awpie Way in front of Dean Hall. The event typically includes a procession of faculty and graduates, and graduates line up after checking in at the Guidrey Center. According to the Registrar’s commencement‑info page, students must order their cap and gown in advance (pickup is scheduled a few days before Commencement). 

On regalia, Dean College requires graduates to wear their cap and gown for the ceremony. The tassel is initially worn on the right and turned to the left after degrees are conferred. Graduates are encouraged to dress smartly under their gowns, and to wear comfortable shoes due to walking and outdoor seating. 

Regarding honors and stoles, Dean College allows only stoles or cords associated with the College’s own honor societies, philanthropic recognition, or academic honors awarded by Dean. Specifically, Dean College’s Honors Program awards a Dean College Honors Scholar Cord to graduating honors students. The school does not publicly outline a broad stole color chart or discipline‑specific hood colors in its publicly available commencement resources.

Faculty and staff also participate in academic regalia: during the procession, faculty robes and hoods are worn, though Dean’s website does not provide a detailed public guide to the color of faculty velvet trim or hood linings. In news coverage, long‑graduated alumni (e.g., 50‑year graduates) wore gold academic regalia, indicating that Dean has a tradition of special regalia for distinguished alumni, but this is not part of a standard degree‑by‑discipline color scheme. 

In summary, Dean College’s commencement and regalia tradition centers on classic black cap and gown, a standard tassel ceremony, and selective use of honor cords through the Dean Honors Program. The college does not publish a full spectrum of tassel, stole, or discipline‑based regalia colors, so academic regalia for external vendors should default to neutral or classic designs unless custom‑approved by Dean.
