Palm Beach Atlantic University

Palm Beach Atlantic University publishes a detailed graduation‑and‑commencement guide on its official website, outlining the procedures for graduation application, regalia ordering, and commencement logistics. Graduates must submit the “Application for Graduation,” complete their academic requirements, and clear any holds before becoming eligible to walk in the commencement ceremony.

For commencement, PBA mandates wearing academic regalia: a cap and gown. The guide specifies that bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral candidates each need to order the correct gown for their degree level. Master’s and doctoral graduates may also wear the appropriate hood over their gown. Caps must be properly worn (flat), and any cap decorations must lie flat and meet the university’s decorum guidelines.

Regarding additional adornments like sashes, stoles, and honor cords — PBA states that only sashes or honor cords obtained through PBA may be worn over the gown, and graduates are limited to a certain number of sashes/cords.

Importantly — and despite the formal regalia requirements — publicly available PBA documentation does not provide a standardized, published color‑coding scheme for the academic regalia (gown, cap, tassel), nor for honor cords/stoles by degree level, discipline, or honors status. There is no publicly accessible “color chart,” “regalia color guide,” or similar document indicating official gown colors or tassel/honor‑cord colors for different programmes at PBA.

In summary: Palm Beach Atlantic University enforces a formal commencement process — graduates must apply, clear obligations, and order appropriate regalia (cap, gown, possibly hood) for their degree level. The regalia style (cap, gown, hood where applicable) aligns with traditional academic dress norms. However — because PBA does not publicly publish fixed color standards for gowns, tassels, cords, or stoles — it is not possible based on the available public documentation to definitively state what the “graduation gown color,” “tassel color,” “honor cord/stole color,” or “faculty regalia color” should be for any graduate or faculty member. Anyone ordering regalia must rely on the vendor/registrar-provided set rather than an institutional color chart.

Palm Beach Atlantic University – Graduation Cap & Gown (Academic Regalia)

Official academic‑regalia set for Palm Beach Atlantic University commencement — includes mortarboard cap and academic gown. Hoods and approved honor cords/sashes may be included for master’s or doctoral graduates or as permitted.

Cap & Gown required for PBA commencement participants — bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral graduates must order the appropriate gown.
Hoods provided for master’s and doctoral programs when applicable.
Mortarboard cap to be worn flat; cap decorations allowed only if within PBA’s rules (flat, modest, not protruding).
Approved sashes or honor cords may be worn — but must be obtained through PBA; limit on number per graduate.
Because PBA does not publish a standard color‑scheme for gowns, tassels, or honor cords, actual regalia colors are vendor‑dependent. No institutional color chart is publicly available.
