Full Sail University

Full Sail University’s commencement is a staged, professional ceremony aligned with the school’s industry focus and published regalia rules. Graduates assemble at Full Sail Live; doors open about 30 minutes before each ceremony and campus candidates register in Building 3B two hours prior. Marshals and staff organize candidates by program for a formal processional and individual stage walk where degrees and awards are conferred. Full Sail partners with Herff Jones for official academic attire and directs students to order or rent caps, gowns, tassels, hoods, frames, and class rings through that vendor. Regalia differs by credential: Associate of Science graduates wear traditional metallic gray caps and gowns with gray tassels, while most Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Fine Arts candidates wear the classic black cap, gown, and tassel. Master’s candidates wear a traditional master’s gown with a black cap and tassel plus a master’s stole in Full Sail University colors; the published graduation program specifies stole trim by degree, for example white for certain MA programs, brown for specific MFA programs, and academic yellow for some MS degrees. Students typically wear the tassel on the right before degree conferral and move it to the left after degrees are announced. Honor cords, achievement stoles, and medallions are available through the university’s vendor and denote distinctions such as honors, veteran status, or first-generation recognition; Herff Jones listings include honor cords and medallions students may purchase if eligible. Faculty participating in commencement wear full academic regalia, and master’s hoods or stoles reflect Full Sail colors when applicable. In short, Full Sail’s commencement balances a traditional cap-and-gown ceremony with program-specific regalia: metallic gray for associate degrees, black for most bachelor’s, master’s gowns with degree-specific stoles, standardized tassel conventions, and vendor-supplied honor cords and stoles to recognize achievement and affiliation. Vendors, ordering deadlines, and detailed stole colors are published in the Full Sail graduation program and student graduation pages to ensure consistent academic regalia presentation across ceremonies.
