Fisk University

Fisk University conducts a formal, tradition-rich commencement where official graduation gown, graduation cap, hoods and honor accoutrements create the academic pageantry. All graduates are required to wear Fisk University academic regalia supplied through the university’s official vendors (Josten/Herff Jones); gown embellishment is prohibited and any ceremonial stoles (e.g., Kente or fraternity/sorority stoles) must be worn underneath the robe unless otherwise approved. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Undergraduate attire follows the classic black graduation gown and mortarboard; master’s candidates wear the black gown plus the hood that reflects the degree and university colors. Fisk issues Latin honors cords at the mandatory rehearsal: Cum Laude (3.30–3.49), Magna Cum Laude (3.50–3.69), and Summa Cum Laude (3.70–4.00). Honor society stoles and cords (e.g., Golden Key, Psi Chi, SALUTE) follow society-specific colors as administered by the Registrar. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Logistics are centralized: cap and gown ordering is facilitated through the Registrar’s Office and official vendor portals; caps and gowns are distributed before rehearsal or on pick-up days, and a graduation fee typically covers cap, gown, hood, and diploma-related expenses. Candidates must be in good academic and financial standing to receive regalia and cross the stage. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
