Hawai'i Tokai International College

HTIC is a two‑year liberal arts college in Kapolei, Hawaiʻi. Their official catalog and student handbook are publicly available. The 2025–2026 catalog confirms that HTIC grants an Associate in Arts degree for students who satisfy course, credit, GPA, residency and financial obligations.

HTIC has recently celebrated commencement ceremonies — for example, the Spring & Summer 2025 Commencement Exercises were announced on their social media.

However: the publicly available HTIC catalog and handbook do not include any details about the ceremony dress code, cap and gown style, tassel color, honor cord or stole colors, or other academic regalia guidelines. A careful review of the 2016 student handbook PDF, and the 2025 catalog, show no section on commencement attire or regalia.

As such, there is no verified official source that describes what gown color, cap style, tassel placement or honor cord/stole colors HTIC uses.
