Monroe College

Monroe University hosts its annual commencement ceremony in June at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, bringing together graduates from associate, bachelor’s, master’s and advanced degree programs for a formal academic celebration. The event features processions, keynote addresses, diploma acknowledgments, and traditional academic regalia presentations.

All graduating students are required to wear official academic regalia ordered through the university’s vendor, Oak Hall, which supplies graduation cap and gown sets with appropriate tassels and hoods. Each degree level (Associate, Bachelor, Master) has specific gown and hood configurations within the traditional black academic gown standard. Graduates must order their caps, gowns, and tassels through the prescribed portal to participate in the commencement ceremony.

While Monroe University does not publicly list specific tassel and honor cord colors on the main commencement page, tassel colors and academic accessories (such as stoles and honor cords) are typically offered through Oak Hall and may include options to reflect Latin Honors (e.g., cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude), student organizations, first‑generation status, veteran recognition, and other ceremonial distinctions. Many graduates also wear colored stoles and tassels to denote academic achievements, campus leadership or affiliation in honor societies; confirm official color details with the Registrar or graduation office prior to ordering.

Faculty and doctoral graduates wear full academic robes with hoods indicating their earned degrees and institutional colors. Faculty regalia often includes velvet trim and discipline‑specific accents according to traditional academic dress standards. Although exact Monroe University honor cord and stole color guides are not published on the main site, graduates should check their Oak Hall ordering portal for available color and accessory options.

Monroe University’s commencement ceremony combines ceremonious procession with vibrant academic regalia traditions, ensuring graduates and faculty alike showcase their achievements through cap, gown, tassel, cords and hood symbolism in a distinguished academic setting.
