Nassau Community College

Nassau Community College (NCC) hosts its annual commencement ceremony to honor students who have completed certificate and associate degree programs. The 65th Annual Commencement took place at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., with graduates asked to arrive by 5:30 p.m. for lineup and verification. The event celebrates academic achievement with keynote speakers, family attendance, and traditional processions.

Academic tradition at Nassau Community College centers on formal academic regalia — graduates must wear their graduation cap (mortarboard), graduation gown, tassel, and hood during the ceremony. Graduates are instructed to order their cap and gown online through the college’s designated Herff Jones portal, choosing whether to pick up regalia at the Campus Store at no charge or have it shipped to their home. The standard graduation gown color for most degree candidates follows traditional academic dress norms (often black or college-designated colors), and the regalia set includes a coordinating tassel and hood.

Nassau Community College’s official commencement pages and catalogs do not list specific published tassel colors, honor cord colors, or stole color designations for bachelor, master, or discipline-specific regalia on their website. Because Nassau CC is primarily an associate-degree granting institution, the regalia is typically uniform for all graduates, with honor distinctions (if offered) communicated through campus organizations or commencement communications directly. In the absence of an official online color chart, graduates are advised to confirm tassel, honor cord, and stole color options with the NCC Office of the Registrar or Campus Store when ordering regalia.

Faculty regalia at NCC follows academic tradition, where faculty participating in commencement wear caps, gowns, and academic hoods reflective of their highest earned degrees, with velvet trimming and colors denoting discipline fields per standard academic regalia conventions (though specific NCC faculty color charts are not published online).
