P.I.T. Commencement — Cap, Gown & Regalia Overview

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology hosts graduation ceremonies when degree or certificate requirements are met. According to the P.I.T. catalog, students must submit a “Cap and Gown request” at least two months prior to the graduation term, pay the required Graduation Fee, and order their cap and gown — which then becomes owned by the graduate.

The commencement policy allows candidates who are a few credits short (no more than 6 credits / two courses) and registered for those courses in the subsequent term to “march with their class,” provided the petition and cap‑and‑gown order requirements are met.

For academic honors and society recognition, P.I.T. permits members in good standing of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) to wear the official “honors stole and cords” at commencement.

However — P.I.T.’s publicly available catalog and student handbook do **not** publish a comprehensive color‑chart for tassels, hoods, stoles or cords by discipline or degree level. There is no publicly available handbook defining standard colors for bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral regalia, nor is there a public list of approved tassel colors representing academic fields.

In summary: P.I.T. requires graduates to order and wear a cap and gown set for commencement; eligible students in Phi Theta Kappa may wear the approved honors stole and cords. There is no public official standard for tassel or hood colors, stoles, or discipline‑based regalia color options. Product listings should, therefore, treat any tassel‑color, hood‑trim, or stole‑color claims as **custom or optional**, not “official P.I.T.” regalia.

• Cap and gown required — must request and order at least 2 months before graduation.
• Graduation eligibility includes GPA and course‑completion audit; “march‑with‑class” option if ≤ 6 credits remain, under conditions.
• Honor society regalia permitted: Graduates in good standing with Phi Theta Kappa may wear the approved honors stole and cords.
• No public regulation or color‑chart for tassel color, hood trim, stoles, or other discipline‑based regalia accessories — colors are not officially documented.
• Any cap‑gown‑tassel set should be considered standard; optional cords/stoles from honor society are allowed; additional embellishments beyond those are not officially defined.
• Product or retail listings claiming “official P.I.T. tassel/hood/stole colors by degree or major” lack verification and should be presented as custom / optional.

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