John Carroll University’s Commencement FAQ clearly states that graduates must wear “full academic regalia consisting of a traditional blue gown and mortarboard (cap) with a tassel.” The blue gown is the specified gown color for all participants. The regalia must be formal and unmodified: gowns must remain unaltered, and the mortarboard cap and tassel are required.

JCU permits optional adornments: sashes or stoles, medallions or cords — but only those provided or approved by a university office or recognized organization. Cap decorations are allowed, but must be minimal, non‑distracting, and must comply with the institution’s standards: only flat decorations, appropriate messages, and no content violating community standards.

The university also provides logistics: regalia pick‑up windows are made available before the ceremony, and there are deadlines for ordering.

However — despite a detailed regalia policy for gowns and caps — there is no publicly available document from JCU that defines a broader color‑scheme for tassels, honor cords, stoles, or discipline-specific hoods based on major or academic program. A scan of the regalia policy and commencement resources shows no hood‑color chart, no tassel‑color by discipline listing, and no published standard for honor‑cord or stole colors tied to degree level or major.

In practice this means:

• All graduates wear the blue gown and mortarboard cap as the standard JCU regalia.
• The tassel is required, but its color, and any cords or stoles, are not publicly standardized.
• Optional stoles, cords, or medallions may be permitted — but only those issued or approved by the university or recognized organizations.
• Discipline‑based regalia (e.g. hoods with faculty/major‑specific colors) are not documented publicly for student graduates.

So for anyone seeking to produce or sell a cap‑gown set for JCU graduates, the safe assumption is a blue gown + mortarboard cap + basic tassel, with optional customizable cords or stoles, rather than a fixed multi‑color regalia system by degree or discipline.
