Foothill College holds its annual commencement ceremony (e.g., June 27, 2025) in the Library Quad, with graduates expected to arrive early, check in, and wear the institution‑approved cap and gown. According to the Foothill Graduation FAQ, all participants must wear Foothill College regalia — caps, gowns, and tassels — ordered via the campus bookstore by specified deadlines.

Per the 2024 and 2025 commencement programs, Foothill College’s academic gown for degree recipients is black regardless of degree level. Doctoral-style gowns have velvet panels and sleeve bars, differentiating them from bachelor’s or master’s gowns. The color of the velvet facing on the academic hoods corresponds to the graduate’s discipline: e.g., gold for Mathematics & Physics, purple for Library Science, light blue for Education, peacock for Public Administration, among others. The hood’s satin lining reflects the colors of the conferring institution.

Regarding tassel placement, graduates follow tradition: they begin with the tassel on the right and, upon degree conferral, move it to the left. Foothill College offers honor cords for high-achieving students: those with a GPA of 3.5 or higher (High Honors) are eligible to pick up a cord at the campus bookstore. The publicly available materials do not clearly specify a detailed color scheme for honor cords or stoles, nor a formal list of society stoles, beyond this GPA-based cord system.

For faculty regalia, Foothill College expects participating faculty to wear academic dress, but the college does not publicly provide a standardized color‑coding scheme for faculty hoods, velvet trims, or stoles in its ceremony materials or catalog. (No specific colors listed in the catalog or commencement program.)

In summary, Foothill College’s commencement emphasizes uniform academic regalia — with black gowns, discipline-based hood velvet, and basic honor cords for GPA — while maintaining flexibility around stoles. Graduates should coordinate with the bookstore for official regalia orders and verify honor accessory details.
