Gateway Technical College

Gateway Technical College holds formal commencement ceremonies for associate degrees, technical diplomas, and advanced technical certificates, typically in May (and also December for some graduates). To be eligible to participate and have their name in the official program, students must submit a graduation application by specified deadlines (e.g. end of March for May commencement).

Participation in the ceremony requires wearing official academic regalia — a cap and gown. The standard regalia set consists of a mortarboard graduation cap, a graduation gown, and a tassel. The color for the cap and gown is black, as specified in the “Commencement Ceremony FAQ” page: all graduates must have a black cap and gown to participate.

For students who earn academic honors, GTC recognizes high achievement via its honors programs (e.g. “Provost’s Honors” or “President’s Honors,” based on program GPA). Graduates eligible for honors may receive honor cords or other commendations at graduation — the official handbook notes that honors status is calculated at the end of the semester and will be reflected at commencement.

However, publicly available resources on the GTC website do not provide a discipline‑by‑discipline color chart for tassels, stoles, or hoods, nor do they detail colors for faculty regalia or departmental academic dress. The focus is on a unified black gown and standard tassel/cap set for all graduates, irrespective of field of study.

In short: Gateway Technical College’s commencement tradition centers around a black graduation gown and mortarboard cap, a standard tassel, and optional honor cords or distinctions for high‑achieving graduates. Detailed color‑coding for stoles, hoods, or discipline‑specific regalia is not publicly documented.
