Johnston Community College holds its Commencement twice a year — in May and December — to honor students who have completed their certificate, diploma or degree programs. To participate, students must apply to graduate by the published deadline, then attend the Graduation Fair (or order online) to purchase their regalia (cap & gown), followed by a graduation practice session, and ultimately the ceremony itself. Cap & gown orders can be placed at the campus bookstore or online. For example, a “Cap, Gown and Tassel Bundle” is offered via the JCC Jaguar Bookstore.
Past ceremonies: For instance, during the 2024 Commencement (covering Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 graduates), over 1,300 credentials were conferred and around 874 students were eligible, with 360 walking across the stage.
Important: JCC does not publish a public, definitive color‑chart for tassels, honor cords, stoles or faculty regalia. While the school colors are Royal Blue and Silver, specific tassel or stole colors — for Bachelor, Master, faculty, or discipline‑specific regalia — are not documented on the official website. Please verify with the JCC bookstore/registrar before ordering. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Johnston Community College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
