Jacksonville University (JU) organizes its commencement ceremonies over multiple days in early May, with specific check-in times, programs, and degree-conferring traditions. Students must register to walk by early April, and cap and gown orders must be placed via Herff Jones by March 21.
For bachelor’s degree candidates, the graduation gown is standard black, paired with a black mortarboard cap. According to JU’s undergraduate commencement page, the tassel color is green and white, worn initially on the right side, then moved to the left during the conferral. Latin honors students (Cum Laude, Magna, Summa) receive a gold honor cord distributed during check-in.
Master’s students also wear a black gown and black tassel. Their academic hood colors vary by discipline in line with JU’s regalia-color scheme: for example, light blue for Education, brown for Art or Choreography, olive brown for Business, sage green for Kinesiology, peach for Nursing, and peacock/teal for Public Policy. Legacy, military, or specialty stoles may also be purchased during the order process.
Doctoral candidates at JU wear a black gown and tam (or cap), plus a hood reflecting their field, and the tassel is also black. Stoles are available for doctoral grads (standard, legacy, or military) as add-ons when ordering regalia.
Faculty regalia is not explicitly defined in the public commencement pages, but it is customary that faculty wear academic gowns and hoods based on their terminal degree and the awarding institution, following standard academic costume practice.
In short, JU’s commencement regalia is centered on black graduation gowns, degree-level tassel conventions (green/white for bachelor’s, black for master’s/doctorate), gold honor cords for Latin honors, and a hood-color system that aligns uniquely with each discipline — all reflecting a balance of tradition and institutional identity.
