Kauaʻi Community College holds a spring commencement ceremony for eligible graduates. The official commencement page notes that all participating graduates are required to wear academic regalia (cap, gown, tassel) to the ceremony.
To facilitate this, Kauaʻi CC runs a “Cap+Tassel and Gown Rental Program.” Graduates are encouraged to RSVP by the specified deadline to ensure proper gown sizing. The program provides a cap and tassel — which graduates keep — plus a rental gown. After the ceremony, graduates are expected to return the gown to predetermined drop‑off locations; failure to return the gown may lead to financial obligations, which may delay release of transcripts and diplomas.
The college’s instructions require that graduates wear their cap, gown, and tassel to the rehearsal and ceremony; tassels begin on the right side and remain there until after the symbolic conferral of degrees.
The publicly available commencement page mentions “Cords and Stoles” for certain recognized categories — including students in specific programs or groups (e.g., Hawaiian Studies, Nursing, Phi Theta Kappa, Student Government Leadership, Veterans, etc.). The page indicates that such cords or stoles may reflect program membership or special recognition.
However, Kauaʻi CC does not publish a public, comprehensive “color chart” for tassels, cords, or stoles by discipline, degree type, or honors level. There is no publicly available handbook, PDF, or contract that defines official colors for hood trim, tassels by major, honor cords or stoles in a way accessible to non‑students. A search of the publicly available materials—commencement instructions, graduation page, and regalia rental program—did not surface any fixed color‑standard documents.
As a result, the only verifiable information is that Kauaʻi CC provides a standard cap, tassel, and rental gown for graduates; optional cords/stoles for recognized student categories may be allowed; and color specifics for cords/stoles/tassels are not standardized in publicly accessible documentation.
Given the absence of a public color standard, any third‑party listing or sale of “Kauaʻi CC graduation regalia sets” (tassels, cords, stoles) must treat accessory colors as variable or custom. Vendors should clearly state that colors for cords or stoles depend on the graduate’s program or recognition, and advise buyers to confirm with Kauaʻi CC Registrar or Commencement Office before ordering accessories. Standard cap, tassel, and gown sets are safe to list with generic descriptions referencing Kauaʻi CC’s rental program.
Complete cap, gown, and tassel set for Kauaʻi CC graduates, perfect for commencement, diploma photos, and alumni keepsakes.
Note: Since Kauaʻi CC does not publicly specify tassel, cord, or stole colors by discipline, please confirm with the Registrar or Commencement Office for compliance before ordering any optional regalia.
Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Kaua'i 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.
