Harry Truman College

Truman College participates in the CCC‑wide commencement ceremonies. Graduates wishing to walk in the in‑person commencement must order a cap, gown, and tassel through the approved vendor (Jostens, Inc.) by the deadline set by CCC.

For 2025, the school’s “GradFest” schedule confirms that participating graduates pick up their cap, gown, tassel — and commencement tickets — during the official GradFest week at Truman College’s campus.

According to the district‑wide regalia contract, student regalia includes cap, gown, tassel, and additionally there are “graduation stoles by college” — meaning each student receives a stole in the color of the college they are graduating from.

Also per the contract, eligible students may receive cords for honors, veterans, or other student‑groups (e.g. STEM, student government, etc.) as part of their regalia set.

Faculty, administrators, and board members have access to rental regalia (cap, gown, hood or tam) for commencement participation through the same contract.

Publicly available CCC / Truman College resources do not provide a detailed “color‑chart by discipline or degree field” for tassels, hoods, or stoles. The only widely documented color logic is that the stole color corresponds to the college (i.e. Truman College), and additional cords/stoles may reflect honors, veterans, or organizational affiliation — not academic major.

In summary: Harry S. Truman College’s commencement regalia policy uses a standard academic gown, mortarboard cap, tassel, plus a college‑colored stole for all graduates. Optional honor or organizational cords/stoles are available for eligible students. Regalia is ordered via an official vendor (Jostens) and distributed at “GradFest” before the ceremony. There is no publicly available evidence of discipline‑based tassel or stole color variations.
