At FSCC the annual commencement ceremony takes place in May at the Danny & Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center, and typically includes two ceremonies (for example at 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.). Graduates wear the traditional academic regalia – graduation gowns, mortarboard graduation caps, and tassels in keeping with academic tradition. The college colours are maroon and grey (dark grey/light grey) as noted in the FSCC media‑kit. Participation in the commencement ceremony does not guarantee the awarding of degrees or certificates; students must complete all degree/certificate requirements and file a petition to graduate.
While the college website and handbook identify the ceremony time, venue and eligibility, specific official references to cap colour, gown colour, tassel colour or honour cord/stole colours were not publicly detailed in the handbook or catalog. Nonetheless, the school colours (maroon and grey) strongly suggest that the primary graduation gown and cap combination reflects those institutional colours. The external regalia vendor listing for FSCC confirms that caps, gowns and tassels sets may be ordered in accordance with the school’s colours and academic costume code. Honor cords or stoles are typically used to denote student achievement or membership in honour societies; while FSCC does not publish specific cord colours, general academic‑regalia guidelines state that gold cords often represent highest academic honours, and colours may vary by discipline or society.
In summary: FSCC’s commencement features full academic regalia – the graduation cap (mortarboard), gown (likely in maroon with grey accents or trim), tassels and optional honour cords/stoles. Students should verify gown, cap and tassel set ordering and accessory colours (honour cords, stoles) with the FSCC Bookstore or vendor in advance to ensure compliance with the college’s recognition of academic achievement.
