Michigan Technological University

Michigan Technological University (MTU) celebrates its commencement ceremony with a formal procession where all graduates are required to wear approved graduation cap, graduation gown, and tassel sets as part of their academic regalia. The ceremony typically occurs in the Varsity Gym of the Student Development Complex and is open to faculty, students, and guests with tickets. Faculty regalia are based on the degree school from which the faculty earned their highest degree.

Undergraduate and graduate candidates must wear university-approved cap and gown sets. All degree levels wear a solid black gown and cap. Tassels for Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD candidates are uniformly gold, symbolizing academic achievement. Master’s and Doctoral candidates also wear hoods; master’s hoods are lined in MTU’s silver and gold school colors with golden yellow velvet trim, while PhD hoods feature darker blue velvet to signify scholarly mastery.

MTU honors academic excellence with honor cords issued based on GPA thresholds. Undergraduate honor cords are distributed at regalia pickup from the Campus Store and reflect achievement levels determined by the Registrar’s Office. MTU also allows recognized student organizations to wear custom color cords or stoles chosen by the group. Certain cord colors are reserved (e.g., veteran red-white-blue and university athlete black & gold) and should not be used by other groups.

Graduates order their cap, gown, and tassel sets through the MTU Campus Store; rental regalia are not offered. Orders must be placed early to ensure arrival prior to the ceremony, and sets include the gown, SureFit graduation cap, and tassel. Pickup is typically the week before commencement.

This summary aligns with MTU commencement policies on academic regalia including cap, gown, tassels, honor cords, and ceremonial attire for graduates and faculty.
