Greensboro College

Greensboro College holds its Baccalaureate / Cap & Gown Ceremony and Commencement annually, with a rehearsal the day before. Graduates must attend the rehearsal in the Cowan Humanities building lobby to receive guidance on the processional, guest tickets, and their academic regalia. The Baccalaureate/Cap & Gown event is deeply meaningful: each graduate chooses a “capper” — someone who has supported them (faculty, family, or friend) — who helps them don their gown, hood, and mortarboard during the ceremony. On commencement day, students assemble early in the morning and participate in a formal procession across Front Campus (or move to an indoor venue in case of rain) to receive their diplomas.

In terms of academic regalia, Greensboro College emphasizes tradition and student-owned or rented attire. The college does not provide honor cords or stoles for distinctions like cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude — these items are typically provided by honor societies, not by the school itself. The student handbook clearly states students may wear cords or stoles they obtain from their honor societies, but the college does not supply them for GPA-based honors. The “Pride Shop” run by Greensboro College does not list graduation regalia (cap, gown, tassel) for sale; its focus is more on fan apparel, and the site does not disclose a public catalog of tassel or hood color codes.

Faculty regalia is also part of the tradition: at both the Spring Convocation and Commencement, faculty wear academic gowns and hoods, but Greensboro College does not publish a publicly accessible, detailed discipline-specific color code for hoods or tassels. In short, Greensboro College’s graduation gown and cap culture leans on standard black academic gowns and mortarboards, student-provided or society-provided honor cords/stoles, and an inclusive, celebratory commencement process — but without a publicly documented system for tassel or stole color by degree or discipline.
