Hocking College holds its commencement ceremonies every term, including a dedicated Autumn ceremony. Graduates are invited to a “Graduation Pre-Party” before the commencement, where they pick up their cap and gown, rehearse, and receive other graduation-day instructions. According to the Registrar’s site, each graduate is eligible to order a cap and gown through an online form (via KeyPlus Inc.), and there is no charge, as the gown is provided free. Graduates are required to arrive about one hour before the ceremony to line up and prepare.

Regarding academic regalia, Hocking College provides a black graduation gown and a matching mortarboard cap as the standard. The college explicitly states that the tassel is blue and gold, reflecting school colors. As for honor cords and stoles, Hocking’s graduation page mentions Phi Theta Kappa: members may earn a graduation stole either through their chapter or purchase via PTK. However, Hocking College does not publish a full public color-chart for all honor cords or stoles associated with different academic honors or disciplines in its publicly accessible materials.

Faculty and other academic leaders at Hocking also wear full faculty regalia during commencement, though there is no publicly available discipline-specific hood color chart or velvet trim guide on their website.

Because Hocking College’s publicly available documentation is limited in detail about honor cord and stole color specifics, students ordering cap, gown and tassels sets should verify what honor cords or stoles are appropriate with the Registrar or College Store. Confirming custom regalia color choices ensures alignment with Hocking’s commencement traditions.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Hocking College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
