Kilgore College holds multiple commencement ceremonies every academic year — typically a Fall ceremony after final exams, a Spring ceremony after the Spring semester, and a Summer ceremony in August for Summer graduates. ([turn0search0] & [turn0search13]) Graduates who wish to participate must apply for graduation and then purchase their cap and gown from the KC Bookstore. The fee for the cap and gown set is usually around US $30.

The official academic attire required includes a graduation gown and mortarboard graduation cap. (Graduates must purchase the cap and gown set from the bookstore rather than using a generic outfit.) ([turn0search0]) Graduates must wear the cap and gown with appropriate dress underneath and must follow the scheduling and check‑in instructions sent by the Registrar’s Office. ([turn0search0]) After the ceremony, diplomas are not handed out on stage — official diplomas are mailed once graduation requirements are certified.

For honours recognition, many students at KC belong to honor societies such as Phi Theta Kappa (PTK). At graduation, PTK members are eligible to wear gold stoles or tassels/stoles in PTK colours to signify their membership and academic achievement. ([turn0search11]) This provides a visible distinction in the commencement academic regalia beyond the standard gown and cap.

However — and importantly — KC’s publicly available materials do not present a comprehensive “colour‑by‑major / discipline” chart for tassels, academic hoods, or stoles that ties colours to individual fields of study (e.g., arts, sciences, business). I found no handbook or catalogue page listing hood or tassel colours per major on the KC website. The Catalog & Student Handbook page does not include academic‑regalia colour codes.

In effect, a typical Kilgore College “cap and gown set” comprises the official graduation gown, mortarboard cap, and — if applicable — a stole or cord (e.g. for PTK or other honours/society membership). For most students, there is no publicly standardized discipline‑based colour system for tassels, hoods or stoles; colour adornments are determined by honor‑society membership or not at all.

This straightforward regalia policy — focusing on a standard gown and cap, with optional honours‑related cords or stoles — aligns well with search‑friendly terms like graduation gown, graduation cap, academic regalia, cap and gown set, tassel, honor cord/stole, making it easy for prospective graduates or vendors to understand and reference.

Kilgore College Commencement & Academic Regalia

Kilgore College conducts multiple commencement ceremonies annually — Fall, Spring, and Summer — for associate degree and certificate candidates. Graduates who wish to participate must wear official academic attire: a graduation gown and mortarboard graduation cap, purchased through the KC Bookstore. ([kilgore.edu])

Regalia Components

• Graduation gown
• Mortarboard graduation cap (graduation cap)
• Optional honor cords or stoles (for qualifying honor‑society or achievement recipients)

Honor & Adornment Policy

Graduates who are eligible via honor societies or special academic/achievement status may wear honor cords or stoles in addition to their cap and gown. Since Kilgore College does not publicly list a discipline‑by‑major tassel or hood‑colour chart, any cords or stoles are generally linked to honour or society recognition rather than the graduate’s field of study. (No public major‑colour chart found.)

Tassels, Hoods & Discipline Colours

Kilgore College does not publish a public discipline‑by‑major colour guide for tassels, hoods or stoles. As a result, most graduates wear the standard graduation gown and cap only — with optional honours adornments. Anyone seeking a tassel, hood or stole colored to match a major should verify directly with the KC Bookstore or Registrar.

Ordering & Ceremony Logistics

• Interested graduates must apply for graduation and purchase their cap and gown set via the KC Bookstore — the fee is typically around US $30. ([kilgore.edu])
• Cap & gown pickup begins about two weeks before the ceremony and continues through the day of Commencement (until 3:00 p.m.). ([kilgore.edu])
• Official ceremonies are held in Dodson Auditorium; diplomas are mailed after graduation requirements are certified. ([kilgore.edu])
• Honor cords or stoles (for eligible grads) can be obtained and worn at the ceremony as visual recognition of academic or society honours.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Kilgore 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.
