Hamline University’s Commencement is a full-scale academic procession held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, complete with undergraduate and graduate ceremonies, Grad Fair for regalia pickup, and a Multifaith Baccalaureate service—events designed to support graduates and family participation. Graduates purchase or pick up cap and gown packages at Grad Fair or via the campus Bookstore/official regalia vendors.

Academic regalia at Hamline follows long-standing academic dress traditions: mortarboard caps with tassels, degree-style gowns (bachelor, master, doctoral), and academic hoods that signal degree level and discipline. Many schools follow the Intercollegiate Academic Color code for velvet facing and hood colors to denote fields (for example: gold for science, white for arts, dark blue for philosophy), and Hamline uses an institutional hood lining historically described as dark gray with a cardinal chevron. For discipline-specific velvet colors, vendors and academic-apparel guides provide the standard color mappings.

Specifics — tassels, honor cords and stoles — are typically provided or authorized by Hamline departments, recognized student organizations, and official regalia suppliers. Herff Jones and other official college vendors list Hamline products (caps, gowns, hoods, cords, stoles) for ordering; exact shade, cord color for honors, and stole designs are confirmed at ordering or by the Registrar/Bookstore during Grad Fair. If you require a precise color chart for a major or honor designation, consult Hamline’s Commencement office or the Bookstore vendor page at time of order.

In summary, Hamline’s commencement emphasizes ceremony, institutional tradition and practical support (Grad Fair and vendor ordering). Academic regalia uses recognized intercollegiate color standards and a historically assigned Hamline hood lining; however, exact tassel, honor cord and stole colors are vendor-supplied and best confirmed through Hamline’s Registrar or authorized regalia vendors prior to purchase.
