Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) hosts its metro commencement ceremony at Wells Fargo Arena for graduates from multiple campuses, with caps, gowns, and tassels distributed immediately prior to the event. According to DMACC’s registrar and graduation letter, the required academic regalia includes a cap, gown, and tassel for all participating graduates.
DMACC allows specific honor adornments: eligible students may wear DMACC honor cords, veterans cords, DMACC Honors Program medallions, and Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) stoles during commencement. The PTK stoles must be obtained through the student’s chapter advisor before graduation, as noted in DMACC’s regalia guidelines. Importantly, DMACC prohibits any additional personal or program-specific adornments beyond the approved cords and stoles.
DMACC’s 2025 graduation letter clarifies honor eligibility: to wear an honor cord, students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 for courses applied toward their program. The policy ensures that only verified academic honors are visually represented.
There is no publicly available detail in DMACC’s commencement documentation about faculty regalia color schemes, hood linings, or discipline-based velvet trim. Their published materials focus on student regalia requirements and permitted honor adornments but do not articulate a formal academic dress code for faculty. Given this, vendors and students ordering cap and gown sets should plan for classic black gown, standard mortarboard cap, and a neutral tassel, with the option to include officially sanctioned honor cords or PTK stoles as permitted by DMACC policy.
Get ready for your Des Moines Area Community College graduation with this complete academic regalia set: black sleeve gown, mortarboard cap, neutral tassel, and optional honor cord or PTK stole.
Perfect regalia set for DMACC graduates who want a dignified, policy-compliant look at commencement.
