Jackson State University’s commencement ceremonies require graduates to wear full academic regalia, including a black graduation gown and mortarboard cap, as outlined in their Commencement Guide. The standard gown color for bachelor’s and master’s candidates is black, though hood linings reflect the graduate’s degree-granting school or discipline. Tassel placement follows tradition: bachelor’s graduates wear a black tassel on the right before the degree is conferred, then move it to the left when instructed; master’s tassels are black, and doctoral candidates use gold tassels.

Honor recognition at JSU is awarded via honor cords or stoles, based on final GPA as defined in the Spring 2025 Commencement Guide:

• Cum Laude: 3.20–3.49
• Magna Cum Laude: 3.50–3.79
• Summa Cum Laude: 3.80–4.00 Graduates within these ranges may wear academically distinguished cords or stoles during the ceremony.

For faculty regalia, the hood colors and gown styles align with the Intercollegiate Academic Costume Code: JSU offers black gowns, and doctoral gowns include velvet panels, while hoods use velvet and lining colors that represent the academic discipline. JSU’s hood and tassel colors for various disciplines follow standard academic color coding — for example, orange for engineering, light blue for education, white for arts and humanities, peacock blue for public administration, sage green for physical education, golden yellow for science, and crimson for journalism.

JSU strictly prohibits decorations or ornaments on regalia during commencement.
