Orangeburg–Calhoun Technical College

Orangeburg–Calhoun Technical College holds formal commencement ceremonies each May, July and December for graduates receiving associate degrees, diplomas, or certificates. catalog.octech.edu +2 octech.edu +2

Caps, gowns and invitations for graduates are procured through the College bookstore. catalog.octech.edu +1

Students pay a graduation fee (e.g. US$15 per degree/diploma/certificate) at the time of application. octech.edu +1

Until all fees and financial obligations are settled, diplomas will not be issued. catalog.octech.edu +1

Although the College’s publicly available handbooks and policy documents (e.g. academic honors policy) describe academic honors — such as being named to the Dean’s List, President’s List, or qualifying for honor-graduate recognition if cumulative GPA meets or exceeds 3.5 — none of the publicly accessible PDFs or web pages specify the exact color scheme for graduation caps, gowns, tassels, honor cords or stoles. catalog.octech.edu +2 octech.edu +2

Therefore, details like whether tassels are gold, black or school-color; what colors the honor cords or stoles use for honors graduates; or what faculty/regalia colors correspond to particular academic programs, are not documented in the publicly available College materials.

In effect, while OCtech clearly uses a conventional academic regalia model (cap, gown, possibly hood/academic dress), and supports honor recognition (via GPA-based honors, honor graduate status, and honor society membership e.g. Phi Theta Kappa) for eligible students, the institution does not publish an official publicly accessible scheme for regalia colors (cap/gown/tassel/cord/stole) tied to honor levels or academic fields. catalog.octech.edu +2 catalog.octech.edu +2

Hence, unless the College bookstore or registrar provides a color-chart at time of order, the color details remain unspecified in public documentation.
