Gratz College

Gratz College holds its commencement ceremony three times a year (fall, spring, summer) for degree conferral, but the formal celebration is typically conducted via a Zoom online ceremony. Graduates from multiple conferral dates are recognized together, and the ceremony includes individual recognition of graduates and remarks from faculty and students.

According to Gratz’s registrar, ordering academic regalia is optional; regalia is not distributed directly by the college. When graduates choose to order, they must select the correct degree level and color scheme. Gratz uses a navy blue and peacock color motif for hood linings: the hood field (outer) is navy blue, while the hood chevron (trim) is peacock.

For tassels, non-doctoral graduates wear peacock and navy blue tassels, while doctoral graduates (such as Ph.D.) wear gold tassels.

Gratz does not appear to officially reference honor cords or stoles in its publicly available graduation steps or on its registrar page, suggesting that such adornments are either not standardized by the college or are handled via third-party regalia vendors. The Registrar’s “Steps to Graduation” page provides no mention of specific cord or stole colors for honor societies.

Faculty regalia at Gratz College would follow traditional academic dress guidelines: faculty would wear a gown and hood, with velvet or chevron trim according to their discipline, but Gratz’s publicly available resources do not provide a detailed color chart for faculty hoods or stoles. Based on their “Steps to Graduation” page, the key regalia color guidance from Gratz centers on the navy blue/peacock hood and the peacock/navy or gold tassels.
