Kentucky Christian University (KCU) holds a formal, robed commencement ceremony at the close of the spring term; baccalaureate services and faculty-robed worship typically precede the graduation event. The Student Services Handbook describes Commencement and Baccalaureate as formal “robed” occasions that mark conferral of associate, bachelor, and graduate degrees.

KCU’s published handbook confirms the ceremonial nature and timing of graduation but does not publish a campus chart of specific tassel, stole, or hood colours in the Student Services Handbook. For students, the handbook primarily frames Commencement as a formal, robed university event and directs students to standard scheduling, eligibility, and conduct rules rather than listing discipline color codes.

Because the handbook omits a detailed regalia colour table, KCU graduates generally follow the widely adopted Intercollegiate/ACE academic costume conventions: the base gown and mortarboard are the standard ceremonial robe, while tassel, hood trim, and hood lining indicate academic discipline and degree level. The Intercollegiate Code (and university practice nationwide) assigns velvet/trimming colours to fields (for example: Blue-Violet for Architecture, Brown for Fine Arts, Golden Yellow for Sciences, Drab for Business, Light Blue for Education, Apricot for Nursing). Tassels for bachelor’s candidates typically reflect the discipline colour or school colours per institutional policy.

Honour cords and stoles at KCU are awarded according to academic-honour criteria and institutional procedures; the handbook notes baccalaureate/commencement as robed events but delegates honours distribution logistics to academic offices (students are normally notified about cords/stoles delivery or pick-up). Because KCU’s official materials defer colour specifics, students should confirm tassel, hood, and stole colours with the Registrar or bookstore when ordering cap and gown sets.
