Graduation Gown & Cap

At Maryland University of Integrative Health, the standard academic dress for degree candidates features a traditional black graduation gown that follows the Intercollegiate Academic Costume Code. Bachelor’s and master’s candidates typically wear a matching mortarboard cap with a tassel attached at the center button. Tassel sets often reflect graduate status but are generally in neutral or school colors aligned with commencement tradition. Doctoral graduates may wear a velvet tam rather than a mortarboard, consistent with doctoral regalia practice. MUIH partners with official regalia providers so graduates can rent or purchase complete outfits including the cap, gown, and tassel. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Hoods, Honor Cords & Stoles

While detailed MUIH‑specific tassel and hood colors aren’t published online, typical academic regalia customs apply: master’s and doctoral graduates wear hoods lined in institutional colors and trimmed in discipline colors following established academic standards. Honor cords and stoles are awarded for academic honors (such as Latin honors) and recognition of leadership, service, or professional achievement. Graduates may wear multiple honor cords and stoles that signify distinctions such as Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or program‑specific honors. (These cords and stoles are usually presented at the ceremony or distributed through the registrar’s office.) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
