Ohlone College

Ohlone College publishes a public Commencement page: the 58th Annual Commencement is scheduled for May 23, 2025, at the Fremont campus soccer field.

The College requires that students meet eligibility criteria and submit their graduation application before the published deadline.

For commencement participation, Ohlone organizes a regalia ordering system: the “Personnel Information” section for Commencement lists an April deadline for regalia orders for graduates and faculty — meaning students (and faculty) must order or update their academic dress by that date.

However — and this is key — I found no publicly available document (handbook, PDF, page) on Ohlone’s website that defines an official “color‑chart” or mapping of colors for tassels, hoods, cords, or stoles according to degree, academic discipline, or honors. The publicly accessible Commencement page, regalia order instructions, and guest information pages do not specify color codes or discipline‑based regalia colors.

Therefore, while Ohlone enforces a standard academic‑regalia system — requiring academic gown, cap, and tassel for graduates and offering regalia ordering for students & faculty before commencement — there is no verifiable public standard for tassel color, hood trim, honor cords or stoles by discipline or honors status.

In effect: Ohlone conforms to the typical academic regalia model (gown, cap, tassel/hood) and facilitates official regalia procurement, but does not publicly codify how colors reflect academic field or honors — so any claim about exact colors for tassel, cords, stoles, or hood trim would be speculative.

Ohlone College Academic Regalia – Cap, Gown & Tassel (Graduation Essentials)

• Institution: Ohlone College
• Included Regalia: Graduation gown, mortarboard cap, tassel — mandatory for participation in commencement ceremonies. ([Ohlone College Graduation Page])

• Honor & Recognition Accessories: Cords, stoles or hoods are optional and may be used — but Ohlone does not publicly define a color‑chart mapping colors to academic disciplines or honors levels. Custom accessory colors are buyer‑discretion and should be verified with the college.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Oklahoma Ohlone College, you can reach out directly to the college's administration or the office responsible for commencement and student services. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding academic regalia.
