Graduates from the historic Jefferson College of Health Sciences participate in the **commencement ceremonies** hosted by Thomas Jefferson University, celebrating academic achievement in health sciences, nursing, and related disciplines. These formal events occur in late spring with processions, conferral of degrees, and recognition of academic excellence.

All students walking in commencement must wear full **academic regalia**, including a **graduation gown** and **graduation cap (mortarboard)**, provided to eligible students when they RSVP. Undergraduates and master’s degree candidates receive their cap, gown and tassels sets via Jostens at no cost once they RSVPed “Yes” to participate. Doctorate‑level graduates receive their hoods on stage during the ceremony.

Jefferson University regalia typically features classic black gowns for most degree levels, with program‑specific hoods and tassel variations reflecting degree type and academic tradition. While the official university materials do not publish a specific *tassel color chart* by major, graduates may receive unique tassels linked to Latin Honors during check‑in if they achieve qualifying GPAs.

**Honor cords** for undergraduate Latin Honors are distributed at commencement check‑in. Students who expect to receive stoles, additional honor cords, or organization‑specific regalia (such as honor society stoles like Phi Theta Kappa) should coordinate with their respective departments or advisors, as the Graduation Team only handles Latin Honors cords.

Faculty participating in the ceremony wear distinguished **faculty regalia**, including doctoral gowns and colorful hoods that reflect each faculty member’s highest academic achievement and alma mater colors in accordance with traditional academic dress codes.

These commencement traditions highlight the significance of **graduation gowns, graduation caps, academic regalia, and cap, gown and tassels sets** as symbols of scholarly accomplishment and professional readiness for graduates of Jefferson College of Health Sciences and Thomas Jefferson University.
