Mount Saint Mary’s University (MSMU) stages commencement each spring at the Shrine Auditorium with separate graduate and undergraduate ceremonies — a formal celebration featuring traditional graduation gown and graduation cap attire, faculty regalia and ceremonial hooding and tassel traditions.

Academic regalia conventions at MSMU align with standard U.S. practice: bachelor’s/master’s candidates wear black gowns and mortarboards; doctoral and faculty robes feature velvet facings and hoods. Tassel and hood colors indicate discipline and degree level rather than a single institutional color; hood lining shows the institution while trim represents the academic field.

Official stoles, honor cords and cap-and-gown sets are available through the MSMU bookstore and authorized vendors to ensure correct color matching and sizing. Departments and honor societies determine cord/stole colors (cum laude, society membership, nursing, science, etc.), so buyers should confirm with the registrar or bookstore before ordering.
