Ohio University Zanesville

Ohio University Zanesville schedules a “Graduation Recognition Ceremony” for its regional‑campus graduates — for example, Summer 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025 classes. Students must complete a registration form (e.g., by April 11, 2025) to participate.

To graduate in the ceremony, OU‑Zanesville requires that students purchase or order an official cap & gown package (“regalia”) before a deadline (e.g., April 1, 2025) — regalia orders ship to students’ home addresses; there is no pick‑up at the ceremony venue. Participation in the ceremony is not permitted without wearing the Ohio University‑issued regalia set.

For academic honors — undergraduate candidates who graduate with honors (Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Cum Laude) — OU‑Zanesville provides honor cords at check‑in.

However, there is no publicly available document (on the OU‑Zanesville site or broader OU commencement materials) that defines a formal “color‑chart” — i.e., a mapping of tassel, hood, cord, or stole colors to academic disciplines, degrees, or honors categories for Zanesville graduates. The public ceremony page and regalia‑order page mention only “regalia required,” “cap & gown package,” and “honor cords for honor graduates.”

In effect, OU‑Zanesville follows a standard academic‑regalia model — cap, gown, and tassel (or supplied regalia package) are mandatory; honor cords are provided for Latin‑honors graduates; regalia is purchased in advance and mailed. There is no publicly documented color‑code for tassels, hoods, cords, or stoles by field or honor level — any color conventions beyond the standard regalia are either internal or not publicly shared.
