Everett Community College

Everett Community College (EvCC), located in Everett, Washington, holds its annual commencement ceremony at the Angel of the Winds Arena. Participation in the ceremony requires graduates to wear academic regalia: a cap, gown, and tassel. EvCC students must RSVP, purchase their cap and gown from the EvCC Bookstore, and pick up their regalia before walking. The college strongly encourages early orders to ensure correct sizes and availability.

Regarding graduation gown color and regalia design, Everett Community College uses a distinctive red gown for students, paired with a matching red mortarboard-style cap and a red-and-white tassel that reflects the school’s traditional colors. During commencement, tassels begin on the right side of the cap and are moved to the left once degrees are conferred.

On the topic of honor cords and stoles, EvCC offers honor cords based on academic achievement. Their 2021 commencement program lists:

• Gold cord for President’s Distinction (4.00 GPA)
• Purple cord for High Distinction (3.60–3.99)
• White cord for Distinction (3.20–3.59)

In addition, members of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa may wear a gold monogrammed stole, cord, and tassel. EvCC does not have a publicly documented, discipline-by-discipline color chart for stoles or departmental regalia; program stoles are issued or sold by individual student organizations (e.g., Phi Theta Kappa, Veterans Center, TRIO).

Faculty regalia rules are mentioned in the Graduation FAQ: faculty must robe (gown) to participate. However, there is no publicly available EvCC resource that details a standardized faculty hood color scheme by department. Because of limited public documentation, students ordering academic regalia (gown, cap, tassel, cords, stoles) should always verify color requirements with the EvCC Bookstore or their academic program.
