Forsyth Technical Community College (Forsyth Tech) holds its annual commencement ceremony at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Cap and gown (academic regalia) are distributed at a Grad Fair, and those who cannot attend can pick up their regalia at the Forsyth Tech bookstore. Graduates are expected to arrive early; doors open for students well before the ceremony begins.

According to the 2025 commencement program, the bachelor’s gown at Forsyth Tech is a simple design, while the master’s gown features longer square-ended sleeves. Doctoral gowns have richer academic trim, including velvet panels and bell-shaped sleeves. The hood worn by master’s and doctoral graduates uses traditional academic-dress color coding: the hood trim (velvet) identifies the field of study — such as light blue for Education, gold for Science, purple for Law, drab for Business, citron for Social Work, and other standardized hues. The inside lining of the hood is “the official color of the college” per the program.

As for honor cords and stoles, Forsyth Tech’s 2025 program lists specific colors: Apricot & White for Alpha Delta Nu (nursing), Red, White & Blue cords for Veterans, and a Gold stole (or cord) for Phi Theta Kappa. It also notes a red stole for TRIO Student Support Services. These regalia options highlight academic or service achievement recognized by Forsyth Tech.

Faculty and staff participating in commencement wear full academic regalia: robes, hoods, and caps. Their hoods follow the same color‑trim conventions as student hoods based on discipline.

In short, Forsyth Tech’s commencement includes a clearly defined regalia tradition: simple and formal gowns, discipline‑based hood color, and distinct honor cords and stoles. The college supports recognition of academic excellence (Phi Theta Kappa), student veterans, and student services groups via regalia worn during the ceremony.
