Florida Gateway College (FGC) holds formal commencement ceremonies each semester (fall, spring, and summer) to honor graduates. According to FGC’s Graduation Information page, graduates must arrive in their cap and gown at the Wilson S. Rivers Library to pick up their name cards, then proceed to line up for the procession. Tickets are required for guests, and orders for cap and gown sets are placed through the FGC Campus Bookstore. Students can order their regalia online with shipping to their home, or pick it up on campus.
FGC also allows students to borrow a gown from previous graduates (class of 2023 or later) to ensure correct shade and material, per their policies. Regarding academic honors, FGC’s Student Handbook does not provide any detailed regalia-color chart: there is no publicly documented color scheme for tassels, honor cords, or stoles. The handbook mentions general rules and conduct, but offers no specifics on honor cord or stole design or color by GPA or honor society.
Similarly, FGC’s Academic Catalog — which details degree programs — does not include any specification of academic regalia color, hood trim colors, or discipline-specific regalia. The Employee/Faculty Handbook likewise lacks any guidance on faculty regalia color or hood velvet trim.
In summary, while FGC clearly outlines the logistics for commencement (application, ticketing, regalia order, procession), its publicly available documentation does not define a regulated system of tassel colors, honor cords, stoles, or faculty regalia. The absence of color details suggests that FGC may rely on a fairly standardized gown system without strongly color-coded academic dress distinctions.
