Kuyper College holds an annual commencement ceremony — for example, the 2024 Commencement took place on April 26, 2024 at the Boonstra Fitness Center.

According to the current 2024‑2025 academic catalog, Kuyper College defines eligibility requirements for graduation (completion of degree requirements, submission of an “Intent to Graduate” form, plus other academic criteria). Participation in commencement depends on satisfying those graduation requirements.

Importantly, for academic‑regalia and honors recognition, Kuyper College explicitly lists in its catalog a system of Academic Achievement Cords awarded at Commencement. The color of the cords corresponds to a student’s cumulative GPA: Gold for 3.90–4.00 (Summa Cum Laude), Silver for 3.70–3.89 (Magna Cum Laude), and Red for 3.50–3.69 (Cum Laude).

Thus, graduates with sufficient GPA receive their cord, to be worn over their academic gown during commencement.

However — and by contrast — I found no public information on the Kuyper College site or in its catalog that defines the standard graduation gown color, graduation cap or tassel color, nor any hooding or discipline‑based color scheme. The publicly available materials — catalog, registrar pages — do not mention a “cap & gown package,” tassel colour conventions, stoles, hoods, or faculty regalia color codes. I did not locate a PDF or handbook that details academic‑dress colour guidelines.

Therefore, while Kuyper College uses a formal commencement ceremony and grants cords for academic honors, the absence of a publicly stated regalia colour policy suggests that the base academic attire is likely uniform (e.g. a standard gown and cap), and any honor‑cord colors are tied only to GPA‑based honors recognition. Discipline‑based stirpes, tassel colours, stoles, or faculty robe colours are not documented publicly.

In short: Kuyper’s publicly documented model emphasizes academic achievement cords tied to GPA for honours — but lacks public guidance on standard gown/tassel/hood color, regimented academic regalia, or discipline‑based regalia colours. For external vendors or graduates searching for “cap and gown set” for Kuyper College, the default should be a simple gown + cap, with optional cords per honors status.
