Hendrix College

Hendrix College’s commencement occurs annually in May, with a Baccalaureate service followed by the Commencement Exercises, typically held at the college’s outdoor stadium (or indoor facility in case of rain). Graduation eligibility requires completion of degree requirements and timely submission of the graduation application to the Registrar. Students who miss the application deadline or have unresolved obligations may be excluded from walking.

For regalia, Hendrix College makes graduation caps, gowns, and accessories (announcements, diploma frames) available for purchase through its on‑campus Spirit Store — either in person or online. According to the historical academic‑regalia registry maintained by the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC), Hendrix has an assigned hood lining pattern: a burnt‑orange lining with two black chevrons (some sources record a single chevron) — a design tied to the college since at least 1927. This indicates that for degrees requiring hoods (e.g. graduate degrees), the inner lining is orange‑and‑black, matching Hendrix’s traditional colors.

However — and importantly — Hendrix College’s publicly available materials do not publish a detailed color chart for tassels, honor cords, or stoles linked to honors or disciplines. I found no official document specifying which tassel color, cord, or stole corresponds to degree level, academic honors, or departmental affiliation. The official “Graduation with Honors” page describes cum laude / magna / summa distinctions based on GPA, but does not reference color‑coded stoles or cords for those honors.

Given this, the only verifiable regalia specification for Hendrix is the hood lining (orange with black chevrons) for hooded degrees; gown and cap appear to follow standard academic‑regalia conventions and are supplied by the Spirit Store. Tassels, cords, or stoles — if used — may be generic, customizable, or vendor‑supplied without a public “official” color‑code. Thus any product listing claiming “official Hendrix tassel/cord/stole colors” beyond the hood lining should be regarded as unverified or custom unless confirmed by the college.

In SEO‑optimized terms: Hendrix College supports traditional academic regalia (cap and gown), with a historically registered hood lining (orange‑with‑black chevrons). There is no publicly documented color scheme for tassels, honor cords, or stoles — meaning that any cap‑and‑gown tassel set or honor cord/stole set marketed for Hendrix must be treated as generic / customizable / unofficial unless confirmed with the Spirit Store or Registrar.
