Flagler College

Flagler College (St. Augustine, FL) holds its annual commencement each May, typically at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Graduates check in early in the morning, and the ceremony begins promptly — regalia, including cap, gown, and stole, must be worn properly throughout the procession, ceremony, and recession. The college livestreams the ceremony for family and friends who cannot attend in person.

For bachelor’s degree recipients, academic dress consists of a black gown, matching mortarboard cap, and a crimson & gold tassel featuring a custom Flagler College medallion. Master’s degree graduates wear a black master’s gown with oblong sleeves, the same black cap, the crimson & gold tassel, and an academic hood lined in Flagler’s colors and edged in the color representing their field of study.

Flagler awards Latin honor cords (for graduates with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5) in crimson and gold; these honor cords are distributed during commencement clearance. Students may wear one approved stole from officially recognized groups, organizations, or departments.

As for faculty regalia, Flagler follows traditional academic costume protocol, with doctoral faculty gowns likely featuring velvet panels and hoods, though the publicly available commencement program does not publish a detailed color chart for specific discipline hoods. According to the academic regalia section in Flagler’s commencement program, black is the standard gown color; hoods are lined with Flagler’s institutional colors, while the border color (velvet) corresponds to the graduate’s academic discipline.
