Pace University

Pace University schedules its commencement ceremonies across multiple sessions depending on degree type and school affiliation.

All graduates must wear official academic regalia — gown, cap, and hood — to participate in commencement. Regalia is ordered through the vendor Herff Jones once the student applies for graduation.

According to the 2024 Commencement Program at Pace, academic dress follows recognized conventions: gowns, hoods, and caps are used, and hood lining reflects the university’s colors (blue and gold). The hood’s velvet trim indicates the graduate’s academic discipline: for example — Arts & Humanities (white), Business (drab), Education (light blue), Science (golden yellow), Law (purple), etc.

Thus, Pace provides a detailed color-coding scheme for hoods (discipline-based) and requires the full academic regalia set.

However — publicly available Pace documentation does not clearly specify “fixed” standard colors for the graduation gown itself or the tassel color across all degree levels. The regalia ordering page emphasizes gown, cap, and hood, but does not prescribe a universal gown color or tassel color across disciplines. Honor cords or stoles are not discussed in detail on the public regalia page; for hood colors and other accessories, Pace instructs students to “contact your college or school.”

In summary: Pace University enforces a structured commencement and academic-dress policy requiring cap, gown, and hood. The hood’s lining and velvet trim follow a discipline-based color chart (blue/gold institution colors plus subject-specific velvet). But because Pace does not publish a public, unchanging color standard for gown fabric or tassels — and does not publicly detail stance on honor cords or stoles — it is not possible to assert a universal “graduation gown color,” “tassel color,” or “honor cord/stole color” standard for all graduates across degree levels or disciplines.

Cap & gown with hood required for all undergraduate and graduate graduates attending commencement.

Suitable for all degree levels (undergraduate, graduate, professional, law) — ensures official attire for commencement events and diploma conferral.
Because Pace University does not publish a public, institution‑wide standard gown color or tassel color, actual regalia appearance may vary; graduates should confirm hood trim and accessory selections when ordering.

Note: To confirm the exact colors of the graduation gown, cap, tassel, honor cords, and stoles for your specific program at Pace University, 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.
