Delta College

Delta College (Michigan), located in University Center, holds its annual commencement ceremony at the end of its winter semester. Students from previous summer, fall, and winter terms are eligible to participate.

According to Delta’s commencement policy, graduates must wear environmentally friendly dark green gowns, made from “Renew” fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles — approximately 27 bottles per standard gown. The mortarboard cap is also dark green to match the gown, and the College Bookstore handles distribution of caps, gowns, and tassels each April.

For graduates in the Honors Program, Delta College allows additional regalia: Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) students can order a stole, cords, and tassel via the PTK website, rather than through the college bookstore. The student handbook and commencement page do not list detailed color‑by‑discipline stoles, hoods, or cords, meaning that for other honors, regalia is less standardized.

Delta’s faculty regalia color scheme is not publicly documented in student‑facing materials (handbooks or commencement pages), and there is no accessible academic dress code specifying hood colors or velvet trim by discipline. Because of this, regalia vendors and students should rely on classic academic design: dark green gown, matching cap, standard tassel, and PTK or other honor cords/stoles as needed.

In summary, Delta College’s commencement regalia reflects sustainability (recycled‑bottle fabric), uniform green academic dress, and a simple tier of honors regalia (PTK) — with little publicly stated variation for other cords, stoles, or faculty regalia.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Delta College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
