Florida Gulf Coast University

Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) holds its commencement ceremonies at Alico Arena, typically over two days in fall and spring. According to FGCU’s commencement site, graduates must arrive one hour early wearing their academic regalia — cap, gown, and hood — to check in, receive a name card, and line up for the procession.

Regalia logistics: FGCU caps, gowns, and hoods are rented, not purchased. After the ceremony, graduates return gowns and hoods to the bookstore trailer or ship them back using a prepaid label when available. The mortarboard cap, by contrast, is kept as a memento.

Regarding honor cords and stoles, FGCU’s official commencement page notes:

• FGCU Stoles: a white FGCU stole is optional and available via the Herff Jones ordering site or campus bookstore.
• First-Gen Stole: there is a specific first-generation student stole available.
• GPA Honor Cords: Baccalaureate students who earn a 3.5 GPA or higher receive honor cords; these are distributed in person via the bookstore starting in the fall via FGCU’s published schedule.

FGCU does not publicly list a discipline-based tassel color system, nor does it have a documented hood-lining color guide in its publicly available commencement materials. The FGCU commencement website and graduation pages mention only gown rental, return policies, and general regalia logistics — without specifying academic-field colors for tassels, hoods, or faculty regalia.

In short: FGCU’s academic regalia policy centers around rental of gowns and hoods, reusable caps, basic honor cords for GPA distinction, and a few stole options. However, there is no publicly available, standardized color-coded academic regalia system (tassels, hoods, or stoles) broken out by major or discipline.
