Glenville State University holds commencement ceremonies twice a year (May and December) for degree conferrals; summer graduates may attend the May ceremony if eligible. All students walking at commencement are required to wear appropriate academic regalia — cap, gown, tassel, and hood if applicable. The academic regalia (cap and gown) is available for purchase from the Pioneer Campus Store. Students are also expected to wear business‑casual attire under their gowns (dress shirt/blouse, long pants or skirt/dress, closed‑toe shoes).
Regarding honor cords and stoles, GSU policy allows a gold honor stole for students graduating with institutional academic honors. Additional honor cords may be worn by members of nationally recognized academic honor societies — provided the society is recognized by the University and the cords are consistent with formal attire. Students who are members of other student organizations may wear a white honor cord representing that participation.
As for faculty regalia, faculty are required to wear full academic regalia for commencement and convocation; mortarboards or tams are optional. Borrowed robes from the institution’s limited supply may be used if necessary, but if a faculty member’s graduate‑degree granting institution does not supply regalia, they must order their own — indicating adherence to standard academic‑regalia traditions rather than bespoke school‑specific color coding.
Overall, Glenville State adopts a traditional academic‑regalia framework: a standard cap and gown for graduates, with optional honor stoles for high‑GPA students, cords for recognized honor societies or clubs, and full gown/hood regalia for faculty — but there is no publicly available, institution‑wide color chart that assigns specific gown, tassel, or stole colors by degree, discipline, or academic major.
Important Note: This set does not include honor stoles or cords. GSU issues a gold honor stole for qualifying students (e.g., GPA honors) and recognizes cords/stoles from eligible honor societies or student organizations — those are provided separately.
Perfect for Glenville State University graduates preparing for commencement. Order from the Pioneer Campus Store or approved vendor to ensure proper fit and compliance with regalia standards.
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Glenville State University, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
