National Intelligence University

National Intelligence University (NI-U) holds an annual commencement ceremony to honor graduates completing academic programs in intelligence and national security fields. Graduates, faculty, staff, and invited guests participate in a formal ceremony recognizing academic achievement and professional commitment. While NI-U’s official graduation page confirms graduation celebration details, it does not publish a detailed commencement regalia PDF listing tassel, honor cord, or stole color codes.

Academic tradition dictates that all participants wear proper academic regalia including a graduation gown, graduation cap, and associated tassels as a complete cap, gown and tassels set on ceremony day. A standard graduation gown is typically black with traditional mortarboard or academic cap, consistent with American academic regalia conventions, and is the primary visual symbol of scholarly achievement. Tassels, suspended from the graduation cap, symbolize degree status and may be colored to represent academic discipline or institutional colors.

Because NI-U does not list a regalia color chart on its public commencement pages or accessible handbooks, graduates generally follow conventional academic regalia practice: bachelor’s and master’s candidates wear a black gown and matching cap with a tassel — often either the institution’s colors or a discipline-appropriate hue — and doctoral graduates may wear velvet-trimmed gowns, tam caps, and tassels reflecting doctoral status and program area. Honor cords and stoles signify membership in honors societies, academic distinctions, professional organizations, or leadership roles, and typically come in colors assigned by those organizations rather than by NI-U itself.

Faculty regalia at NI-U ceremonies reflects each faculty member’s highest earned degree, featuring hoods and trim in colors denoting academic disciplines per the American Council on Education academic dress code; however, specific NI-U faculty regalia color assignments are not published on the NI-U site.

For precise tassel, honor cord, or stole color details and discipline regalia color schemes, NI-U graduates should contact the registrar or commencement office or refer to their regalia vendor’s color guide prior to ordering.
