Pacifica Graduate Institute

Pacifica Graduate Institute publishes a dedicated commencement information page detailing the timing and logistics of graduation ceremonies. For instance, the 2026 commencement is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026.

Graduates eligible to participate must complete all degree requirements and will be notified by the Registrar’s Office.

The public documentation confirms that PGI expects participants in commencement to order their academic regalia (cap and gown) by a defined deadline.

However — despite an otherwise clear process for commencement — PGI’s publicly available materials do not disclose any standardized or published color‑coding scheme for the graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel, honor cords, stoles, or faculty regalia. A review of the Student Handbook, registration/commencement guides, and other public pages revealed no color‑chart, no mention of colors associated with degree levels, honors status, or academic disciplines.

Moreover, although PGI provides a course catalog and a “Student Handbook,” none of these publicly accessible documents define fixed colors or visual standards for academic regalia or honor adornments such as cords, stoles or tassels.

In summary: Pacifica Graduate Institute enforces a formal commencement process — requiring eligible graduates to apply, complete their academic obligations, and order an academic‑regalia set (cap and gown) by the stated deadline. While the cap and gown requirement is clear, there is no publicly published, institution‑wide standard for the color of the gown, cap, tassel, or any honors cords/stoles/faculty regalia. As such, it is not possible — based on available public documentation — to definitively state what the “graduation gown color,” “cap/tassel color,” “honor cord/stole color,” or “faculty regalia color” should be for graduates or faculty at PGI. Anyone ordering regalia must therefore depend on the vendor‑supplied set rather than an official color‑guideline.
