Husson University has a structured commencement system. The Class of 2026 Commencement is scheduled at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, and the graduate “hooding ceremony” is held the evening before for master’s and doctoral students.

According to Husson’s official regalia guide (e.g., their 2020 Cap & Gown PDF), graduates pick up regalia (cap and gown) from the Husson Bookstore. The cost of rental or purchase is typically included as part of the commencement fee, and students must present a photo ID to collect their regalia.

For academic dress: Husson’s 2024 Commencement Program states that all graduates wear a long black gown and a mortarboard. The standard tassel color for undergraduate (baccalaureate) students is golden-yellow.

Honor cords: Students who graduate with a 3.4 GPA or higher are eligible to wear a gold honor cord, which is distributed along with the regalia.

Graduate (master’s / doctoral) regalia includes a hood, whose velvet binding color represents the academic discipline. According to Husson’s hooding-ceremony program, the hood’s lining reflects Husson’s institutional colors (green and gold), while its velvet trim varies by field: for example, drab for business, peacock blue for criminal justice, apricot for nursing, olive for pharmacy, and teal for physical therapy.

Faculty regalia: During hooding ceremonies, faculty members place the hood on graduates. Faculty and doctoral-level regalia use the same system — black hood shell, lined with green and gold, with velvet border indicating academic discipline.
