Erikson Institute celebrates its commencement each year with a formal ceremony held in a prominent venue. For example, the 2025 commencement took place on May 5 at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre. Their 2024 ceremony similarly included honorary degrees awarded to high-profile figures including Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and a noted psychologist.

I reviewed the Erikson Student Handbook (2024–25) and earlier versions. Unfortunately, there is no mention of a formal academic-regalia color code (e.g., tassel colors by degree, honor cords, stoles, or hood trim). The handbook describes student behavior, academic policy, and graduation application, but does not prescribe specific cap or gown colors, nor does it list hood or cord colors.

Because of this omission, there is no publicly documented scheme for honor cords or stole colors for honors, societies, or discipline identification. Likewise, Erikson does not appear to publish a faculty-regalia color chart, hood line-color guide, or velvet color based on academic field.

In practice, then, the most verifiable regalia is a traditional black graduation gown and mortarboard cap, which are typical for many higher-education institutions without a publicly defined color-code policy. The lack of documented honor cords, tassel, or stole color suggests that Erikson may leave these decisions to vendors or students, or may not enforce a uniform regalia color scheme.

In summary: Erikson Institute’s public materials confirm formal commencement ceremonies (black cap & gown assumed), but do not provide details on tassel, honor cord, or stole colors, nor on faculty regalia colors. Anyone designing or ordering cap-gown-tassel sets or other academic regalia for Erikson graduates should confirm color and regalia policy directly with the Institute.

Long: Celebrate your Erikson Institute milestone with a traditional academic regalia set. Includes a sleek black graduation gown and mortarboard cap with a standard tassel. Erikson’s publicly-available materials do not define specific colors for honor cords, stoles, or hoods, so students should confirm permitted color options with the Registrar or Graduation Office before ordering. This set offers a dignified, professional look aligned with Erikson’s graduate-school tradition.

Please verify honor cord, stole, or hood colors with Erikson Institute’s Registrar before placing your regalia order.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Erikson Institute, 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.
