Eastern University (St. Davids, PA) holds its commencement ceremonies in May at The Mann Center in Philadelphia, with multiple sessions—undergraduate, graduate, and online programs. Graduates are required to wear approved academic regalia, including a graduation gown and mortarboard cap, which they pick up from the campus bookstore or order via their student portal. The gown should hang loosely, and students are advised not to iron it; wrinkles typically fall out after hanging.

Regarding honor cords, stoles, and other adornments: Eastern University permits only approved adornments. Additional regalia items—such as cords, medals, hoods, and stoles—must be obtained from the relevant university department or honor society before commencement. For undergraduates, the school awards Latin honors based on GPA: Summa Cum Laude (≥ 3.90), Magna Cum Laude (3.75–3.899), and Cum Laude (3.50–3.749).

Academic hooding: For graduate (Master’s) students, hoods reflect both Eastern University’s institutional colors and the academic discipline. In Eastern’s official commencement PDF, the hood lining shows maroon and white (the school’s colors), while the velvet trim (edge) signifies the discipline (for example, education = blue, science = gold, business = drab, theology = red). The standard tassel on mortarboards is black for undergraduates and Masters; doctoral students may have a different tradition, but specific color for their tassel isn’t explicitly called out by Eastern.

For faculty regalia, Eastern University follows typical U.S. academic‑dress conventions: faculty wear black gowns, and their hoods are lined with Eastern’s maroon and white and trimmed in velvet that represents their academic field.

In short: Eastern University’s commencement regalia revolves around a classic black graduation gown, black mortarboard cap, discipline‑trimmed hoods for graduate students, and officially approved honor cords and stoles (including philanthropy cords). Personal adornments are regulated, emphasizing a dignified, unified academic dress tradition.
