Gwynedd Mercy University hosts its annual commencement ceremony each May to celebrate the conferral of degrees and recognize graduates formally. The 2025 commencement was held on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
GMercyU’s official commencement structure provides standard academic attire for participants. Graduates are expected to wear a graduation cap and gown as part of the ceremony dress‑code. The cost of graduation (a “graduation fee”) covers, among other things, the administrative costs related to commencement, which logically includes diplomas and regalia coordination.
However — and importantly — there is no publicly available detailed color‑chart, handbook, or PDF on the GMercyU website that defines fixed colors for tassels, stoles, honor cords, or hoods by discipline or degree level. A search on the public site returned no results for “regalia colors,” “tassel color,” or “honor cord colors.” This suggests that GMercyU does not maintain or publicize a formal, institution‑wide color‑coded system for academic regalia that is accessible online.
Also, the publicly visible “Traditions” and “Student Life” pages do not mention any consistent policy for cords or stoles by academic major, honors, or societies — there is no published list of allowed or standard honor cords or stole colors tied to major, GPA, or discipline.
Because of this absence, it appears that GMercyU likely issues a standard gown and cap for all graduates, and any additional cords, stoles, or tassel color variations — if allowed — would either be optional, managed at the department or program level, or simply not regulated via a publicly available chart. Without an official public reference, such accessories might vary from year to year.
In terms of faculty regalia, there is also no accessible public documentation on specific gown, hood or velvet‑trim colors for faculty participating in ceremonies. The publicly available material on commencement centers on student ceremonies and does not outline a faculty‑regalia color policy.
In summary: GMercyU’s commencement process emphasizes a standard cap and gown for graduates, with no publicly published detailed regulations for tassel, honor cord, or stole colors. Vendors or listings referencing GMercyU regalia should treat any claims about specific colors as unverified or customizable — unless confirmed directly with the university’s Graduation Office or Registrar.
