John Jay College requires all graduates — undergraduate and graduate — to wear academic regalia (cap, gown, tassel; for graduate degrees, hood) purchased via its exclusive vendor Oak Hall Cap & Gown.

For students earning a master’s or doctoral degree, JJAY holds a Graduate Hooding Ceremony prior to (or as part of) commencement. The hood’s colors correspond to the college’s official colors (blue and gold) to represent the institution, while the velvet trim on the hood reflects the graduate’s field of study.

For faculty participating in the procession, JJAY covers the cost of academic‑regalia rental (gown/hood) for full‑time faculty only; orders must be placed by a specified deadline before commencement.

Despite this structure, JJAY’s publicly available documents — including the “Commencement” page, “Faculty Regalia Guide,” and hooding‑ceremony page — do not specify a detailed color‑scheme for undergraduate tassels, honor cords, stoles, or discipline‑specific regalia. There is no published chart linking colors to degrees, majors, honors, or cords/stoles. A review of the publicly archived 2018 Commencement program likewise outlines the history of academic dress and hood color conventions broadly — but does not provide a regimented color code for JJAY undergraduates.

Regarding honors: JJAY’s “Commencement FAQ” notes that “honors cords” will be distributed at a pre‑commencement event for eligible graduates (e.g., Latin honors). However, there is no public statement specifying what color the honor cords are.

In short: JJAY mandates official regalia (cap, gown; plus hood for graduate degrees), supplied via Oak Hall; for master’s/doctoral graduates, the hood is lined in blue and gold (the college colors), trimmed per field. Undergraduates wear cap and gown, but no public color specification exists for tassels, cords, or stoles. Honor‑cord colors are not publicly documented.

For vendors and product sellers: the safest assumption — based on publicly available info — is a basic neutral cap, gown, tassel (plus hood for grads) as required, with optional cords/stoles/tassel‑color customization, because no official multi‑color standard is documented.
