KCKCC’s commencement ceremonies are formally organized by the College, and the 2025 graduation was held on May 22 at Children's Mercy Park — with a keynote address by Lieutenant General Milford Beagle, Jr.
For regalia and graduation gear, KCKCC maintains a clear “Cords, Stoles and Honors” policy. Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.40 or higher are awarded an honor cord at check-in before the ceremony. Graduates who are members of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) may wear PTK-issued stoles and tassels at graduation — provided they register with the PTK director by the stated deadline.
KCKCC also recognizes military service: students who are veterans or active-duty/reserve are authorized to wear a red, white, and blue military honor cord at no cost, distributed via the Military & Veteran’s Center during graduation check-in.
However — and importantly — KCKCC’s publicly available information does not specify any fixed “color chart” for graduation gown color (for associate, bachelor’s or master’s), tassel color by major, or faculty/faculty-regalia hood colors. There is no mention on the official site of bachelor vs master’s gowns, or discipline-specific hood or robe colors. Instead, the focus is on honor cords and membership stoles (e.g. PTK), and the standard regalia appears to come from their contracted vendor (per Board of Trustees orders for caps and gowns).
Therefore, purchasing a “KCKCC cap and gown tassel, honor cord, stoles color” set requires confirming with the Registrar or official vendor: honor cords (GPA-based), PTK stoles, and military cords are documented; but discipline, degree-type, or faculty regalia colors are not publicly standardized.
For listing academic regalia (cap, gown, tassels, cords, stoles) for KCKCC graduates, it’s best to emphasize “standard black gown” (or vendor-supplied institution set), and that cords/stoles follow GPA, honor society, or veteran eligibility rather than major-based color coding.
Official cap, gown and basic tassel set ideal for Kansas City Kansas Community College graduation ceremonies, photos, and celebrations.
Important: This set does not include honor cords, stoles or special tassels linked to GPA, honor-society membership or veteran status. KCKCC policy allows honor cords for GPA ≥ 3.40, PTK stoles/tassels for registered members, and red-white-blue military honor cords for eligible veterans. Please confirm your eligibility and required colors with the KCKCC Registrar or Veteran’s Center before purchasing additional accessories.
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Kansas City Kansas 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.
