Furman University hosts its spring commencement ceremony in Paladin Stadium, bringing together graduates, faculty, and families for a traditional and dignified celebration. The ceremony features a formal procession led by graduates in full academic regalia: black graduation gowns, mortarboard caps, and tassels. Furman partners with Oak Hall for its cap and gown orders, offering GreenWeaver® regalia made from 100% recycled plastic bottles — a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for both students and faculty.

Graduates can purchase their academic regalia, including the gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles, through Oak Hall. While Furman’s website does not publicly list specific color codes for tassels, honor cords, or stoles by discipline, these are typically provided via Oak Hall’s ordering portal. Faculty who do not own their academic regalia are required to rent gowns, with part of the rental cost subsidized by the university.

Because Furman limits public regalia details on its site, color information for tassels, honor cords, and stoles appears to depend heavily on individual departments, honor societies, and Oak Hall’s custom-regalia system. Oak Hall offers a wide variety of stoles (honor, cultural, international, etc.) and tassels in multiple colors for Furman graduates.

Overall, Furman University’s commencement reflects both tradition and sustainability. Its academic regalia policy blends classic cap and gown tradition with environmentally responsible materials, while encouraging graduates to celebrate their achievements in style and with honor.
