Penn College Commencement — Cap, Gown & Regalia Overview

Pennsylvania College of Technology holds regular commencement ceremonies (e.g. Fall 2024 finale on December 21) for graduates of certificate, associate, bachelor’s and master-level programs. All graduating candidates must wear approved academic regalia — cap, gown, and tassel (plus hood for master’s) — over appropriate dress clothing.

For certificate, associate, and bachelor’s degrees the standard regalia set — cap, gown and tassel — is priced at about US$35 when ordered via the College Store. For master’s graduates, regalia includes gown, hood, cap and tassel (priced higher accordingly).

The college recognizes U.S. military service: eligible veterans or active‑duty/reserve students may wear a distinctive red‑white‑and‑blue honor cord at graduation, provided they present the required discharge documentation. This cord publicly signifies military service during the commencement procession.

However — based on available public documentation — there is **no** official, published color‑chart or policy defining tassel colors, hood trim, stoles, or honor‑cord colors by academic field, degree level (beyond master’s hood), or academic honor. Photographs from past commencements show a standard blue gown for undergraduates, but no institutional statement confirms discipline‑based tassel or hood color schemes.

In summary: Penn College mandates formal academic regalia (cap, gown, tassel; hood for master’s) for commencement. The only officially documented adornment beyond the basic set is the red‑white‑blue veteran honor cord. Because no public color‑chart or regalia‑policy is found for tassels, stoles, honor cords for academic honors or discipline-based hood colors, any retail product listing claiming “official Penn College tassel / stole / hood colors by major or honor” should be treated as speculative and labeled accordingly — only basic cap and gown sets and veteran cord status are verified.
