Ferris State University

Ferris State University’s commencement ceremony is a celebrated tradition that unites graduates, faculty, and families in a dignified academic ritual. Candidates for undergraduate degrees wear black gowns with long, bell-shaped sleeves, while master’s graduates don gowns with oblong sleeves, and doctoral recipients wear black velvet-trimmed robes with three velvet bars across the sleeves. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} The academic cap is a standard mortarboard for undergraduates and graduates, and doctoral candidates may wear a tam.

Tassel color at Ferris State indicates the graduate’s field of academic specialization. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} For doctoral recipients, the tassel is either gold or black. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} The official tassel color chart in the commencement program defines colors for each college: for example, Arts, Sciences and Education is white; Business is drab/beige; Engineering Technology is orange; Health Professions is bright green; Optometry is seafoam.

Academic honors are recognized through honor cords worn by eligible students. Students graduating with honors (Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude) wear gold honor cords. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} In addition, recognized distinctions — such as first-generation graduates — may wear special cords: first-generation cords use teal and yellow, symbolizing growth and knowledge.

Stoles and sashes are also used in some programs: for example, Kendall College of Art & Design (KCAD) provides silver, teal and red honor cords; multicultural and LGBTQ+ students have access to custom stoles to express identity.

Faculty and staff participating in the commencement procession are required to order regalia (gowns, hoods, caps) ahead of time. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} They are guided by their college’s commencement coordinator to ensure correct academic regalia, including hood colors, tam or mortarboard choice, and sizing. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9} Graduates must attend check-in, wear correct cap-gown-tassel sets, and comply with the university’s honor cord and stole policies to be eligible to walk in the ceremony.
