Jacksonville State University requires that all degree candidates wear full academic regalia during commencement. According to the university’s graduation program, bachelor’s and master’s gowns are now made from a more breathable matte black fabric, with custom red JSU seals embroidered on the lapels. Bachelor’s students wear their tassel on the right before the degree is conferred, then move it to the left when directed. Master’s tassels are worn on the left, usually in black, while the doctoral tassels are metallic gold.

JSU offers a variety of hoods and discipline-specific regalia: the hood’s velvet binding and lining show departmental colors, per JSU’s Intercollegiate Academic Costume Code. The Jax State Campus Bookstore publishes a detailed “Master’s & Doctoral Hood Colors” guide: for example, the drab velvet for business, light blue for education, citrine for social work, etc. The chevron colors (on doctoral gowns) are red & white, in line with school branding.

JSU’s specialty stoles and honor cords are also significant: the campus bookstore offers a “Stole of Gratitude” in red silk embroidered with the university seal, as well as stoles for veterans (blue) and military service, plus a red, white, and blue American flag tassel for veteran grads. While the university doesn’t publicly list a fixed Latin-honor cord color scheme, these specialty cords and stoles reflect JSU’s ceremonial tradition.

Faculty regalia is based on the terminal degree they hold, wearing gowns and hoods aligned with the awarding institution; JSU does not mandate a one-size-fits-all faculty gown color. In summary, JSU’s commencement regalia emphasizes black graduation gowns, discipline-specific velvet hood colors, and decorative stoles/tassels tied to military or gratitude themes — balancing tradition with school identity.
