Fayetteville State University (UNC FSU) holds formal commencement ceremonies in both May and December, according to its Registrar’s Graduation Information page. For undergraduates, the tassel starts on the right side of the mortarboard and is moved to the left once the degree is conferred. Their academic hood for master’s and doctoral graduates is lined with FSU’s official colors—blue and white—and the velvet trim reflects the graduate’s discipline. The hood is draped over the gown, hanging from neck to back, and stoles (if any) go on top of the gown.

The graduation gown at FSU follows the traditional cut (black academic robe), and the cap (mortarboard) is worn level and square on the head. During the faculty procession, FSU faculty and administrators wear full academic regalia as noted in a provost memo requiring their participation.

Regarding honor cords and stoles, FSU’s publicly available commencement guides do not clearly list a detailed, fixed color‑chart for different honors or societies. The Registrar’s Graduation Information page indicates that honored undergraduates receive their medallion, cord, or stole at rehearsal — but students must qualify for honors via credit hours and GPA. The undergraduate guide mentions an “honor stole” worn over the gown for students with distinction, but doesn’t specify the exact color of that stole.

In summary, Fayetteville State University’s commencement ceremony emphasizes traditional academic regalia: a black graduation gown, mortarboard cap, and discipline‑color hood lined in blue and white. While FSU distributes honor cords and stoles to recognize academic distinction, it does not publicly maintain a fully detailed color scheme for these adornments in its most readily accessible handbooks.

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