Gogebic Community College requires students to apply for graduation and complete program requirements to be eligible for degree/certificate conferral; once eligible, graduates can order regalia for participation in the May commencement.

Importantly, the college explicitly states that it pays the cost of cap and gown regalia for students participating in commencement — meaning the standard academic regalia (cap and gown) is provided free of charge. The order deadlines are published each year (for 2025: March 29 for campus pickup; April 13 for shipping to a home address), and pick-up begins in late April.

Regarding honors recognition, GCC distinguishes honors at graduation based on GPA: students with cumulative GPA between 3.50–3.74 graduate “With Honors,” and those 3.75 or above graduate “With High Honors.”

What the public records do not reveal — and thus cannot be confirmed — is any standardized, publicly published scheme for gown color, tassel color, honor cord color, or stoles by degree level or academic discipline. The Graduation page and the Student Handbook do not mention specific colors, hoods, or discipline‑based regalia. There are no publicly available PDFs or color‑charts that assign specific tassel or stole colors for honors, degrees, or departments.

Given the absence of published color guidelines, it appears that Gogebic Community College likely distributes standard black or institution‑default gowns and caps to graduates. Any additional adornments — honor cords or stoles — may be either minimal or handled outside of the publicly posted policies (e.g. individual honor societies or personal purchase), since they are not referenced in the publicly accessible documentation.

In summary: Gogebic Community College ensures that participating graduates receive a cap and gown, free of charge, to wear at commencement. Honors status (Honors / High Honors) is recognized based on GPA. However, the college does not visibly publish a uniform color‑coding policy for tassels, honor cords, stoles, or discipline‑specific academic regalia — so any variation beyond standard cap & gown is likely discretionary or handled through separate societies, not via a publicly documented institutional standard.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Gogebic Community College, 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.
